Released in 1997, High Profile is a compelling Canadian compilation from Direct Source Special Products that showcases the legendary career of B.B. King, the undisputed King of the Blues. The production brings together a decade-spanning selection of tracks that highlight King's sophisticated phrasing and his signature vibrato on his beloved Gibson guitar, Lucille. The tracklist includes definitive blues anthems such as the soul-stirring The Thrill Is Gone and the emotionally charged How Blue Can You Get, alongside gritty, early-career recordings like B.B. Boogie and A New Way Of Driving. This collection effectively bridges the gap between his polished urban blues hits and his raw R&B roots, offering a comprehensive look at how King integrated jazz-influenced single-string notes into the traditional blues structure. Whether it is the swinging rhythm of Everyday I Have The Blues or the biting commentary of Paying The Cost To Be The Boss, High Profile serves as an essential introduction to the technical mastery and deep emotional resonance that made B.B. King a global musical icon.
