Title: B.B. King – B.B. King "Now Appearing" At Ole Miss
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1980, R&B, Electric Blues, Memphis, Tennessee
Matrix #: MCA2-8016
Condition: VG++

Cultural Facts:

  1. Political Science: The Ole Miss setting carries heavy civil-rights history, and a blues show there reads differently after the 1962 integration crisis that turned the campus into a national flashpoint.

  2. Media Narrative: B.B. became the public ambassador of the blues, but that role came with pressure to be “safe” for mainstream stages while still carrying the music’s real history.

  3. Personal Struggle: He grew up in deep Mississippi poverty and lost both parents young, then worked plantations and sharecropper life before grinding through one-nighters to build his career.
