Two guitar legends - Eric Clapton and B.B. King - first performed together in NYC in 1967. Over 30 years later, in 1999, the two longtime friends joined forces to create a collection of all new studio recordings of blues classics and contemporary songs. The resulting album, *Riding with the King*, was released in June 2000, sold over 2 million copies and won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album. Now, to honor B.B.'s 100th birthday, the remastered expanded edition is being reissued on 180g gold vinyl.
