Vinyl LP pressing. Deuces Wild is the 35th studio album by blues legend B. B. King. It was originally released on November 4, 1997. The album features duets with famous artists such as Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Mick Hucknall, Paul Carrack, Dr. John, David Gilmour, Joe Cocker and The Rolling Stones amongst others. Rolling Stone ranked King # 6 on its 2011 list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time. King introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that influenced many later electric blues guitarists. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and is considered one of the most influential blues musicians of all time, earning the nickname "The King of the Blues", and one of the "Three Kings of the Blues Guitar" along with Albert and Freddie.
