That's "together for the first time" on disc, of course. Bland and King have shared stages since the '50s, when they were both members of the Beale Streeters, the legendary Memphis blues commune. In any case, this 1974 concert catches both artists at the peak of their game, recorded (with a nice sense of inside-the-band intimacy) in front of an extremely appreciative audience. Highpoints include a terrific call-and-response duet between the two stars on Bland's signature "That's the Way Love Is," and a riveting, can-you-top-this version of "3 O'Clock Blues," which features stinging guitar work by King and some of Bland's most impassioned singing ever.
Q (2/93, p.87) - 3 Stars - Good - "...the onstage pleasure they get from each other's music adds excitement and that extra spark..."
Mojo (Publisher) (12/00, p.64) - "...A fine representation of [his] stage persona in the company of long-time friend and performing peer, B.B. King."
Personnel includes: Melvin Jackson, Sonny Freeman, Mel Brown, Ben Benay, Milton Hopkins, Joseph Burton, Ron Levy, Cato Walker, Louis Hubert, Bobby Forte, Edward Rowe, Wilbert Freeman, Charles Polk, Tommy Punkson, Harold Potier, Jr., Theodore Arthur, Theodore Reynolds, Leo Penn, Joseph Hardin, Jr., Alfred Thomas, Michael Omartian.

B.B. King & Bobby Bland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh everyday, everyday I have the blues
When you see me worryin' baby, yeah it's you I hate to lose
Whoa nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Whoa nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Well worries and trouble darling, babe you know I've had my share
Everyday, everyday I have the blues
When you see me worryin' baby, yeah it's you I hate to lose
Whoa nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Whoa nobody loves me, nobody seems to care
Well worries and trouble darling, babe you know I've had my share
The song "Every Day" by B.B. King and Bobby Bland is a classic blues tune that deals with the heartache and pain of lost love. The lyrics express the feeling of being alone and unloved, with a sense of hopelessness and despair. The song's repetitive structure and mournful melody add to the overall feeling of sadness and melancholy.
The first two lines of the song set the tone for the entire piece - "Everyday, everyday I have the blues. Ooh everyday, everyday I have the blues." The repetition of "everyday" emphasizes the singer’s sense of hopelessness and weighty burden. The use of the word "blues" is significant, indicating the singer is telling listeners he is feeling down and depressed. The repetition of the lines at the end of each verse, "When you see me worryin' baby, yeah it's you I hate to lose," highlights the fact that the loss of a lover is the reason for the singer's sadness.
The chorus also emphasizes the idea that the singer is unloved and uncared for, with the phrase "Whoa nobody loves me, nobody seems to care." The subsequent lines, "Well worries and trouble darling, babe you know I've had my share," convey the idea that the singer has gone through a lot of heartache in his life and is carrying a weight of sorrow that never seems to lift.

When I was a kid and blues would be playing in the house I would tell my mom I didn't like it. She told me "You will, you haven't lived long enough." She was dead right!!!! I can listen all day sometimes and never miss a blues fest. Two of my favorites!
