Review by Stanley Booth:
B.B. King, probably the most celebrated living blues player, has come
a long way from Itta Bena, Mississippi, and this CD illustrates just
how far. A series of guest shots by such artists as Van Morrison,
Tracy Chapman, Eric Clapton, Mick Hucknall, Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John,
Joe Cocker, Marty Stuart, the Rolling Stones, and Willie Nelson,
Deuces Wild is far removed from the blues King played in the '40s
and '50s. It's more like psychodrama, especially in the case of the
Cocker track, "Dangerous Mood." Nobody here, celebrity
notwithstanding, is just going through the motions. The album's
crass concept is redeemed by, among others, drummers Steve Jordan,
Jim Keltner, and Charlie Watts. Although it's an overblown
international project with no affinity for the meaning of the blues,
the players and their love for the music triumph.
