Working directly with B.B. King's estate, this project is deeply personal to Joe, reflecting his lifelong admiration for B.B. and the profound impact B.B. had on his career and life. Joe's connection with B.B. began in 1989 when, as a 12 year-old prodigy, he had the life-changing opportunity to open for Mr. King. Over the years, their friendship grew as they toured together on dozens of occasions, cementing a bond that Joe cherishes to this day.
