B.B. King's - Lucille Talks Back 50th Anniversary

A landmark tribute to one of blues music most transcendent and overlooked recordings is coming back to life. Released in 1975, the original Lucille Talks Back stands as one of B.B. King's most soulful and emotionally rich recordings. Despite its brilliance, the album never received widespread distribution, and its entirety is not found on major streaming platforms. This remake is a mission of love — to bring Mr. King's vision to the people it was meant to reach. Under the creative direction of Executive Producer Meshell Ndegeocello, the album has been reimagined with reverence and artistry, breathing new life into every track while honoring the heart and soul of the original recordings.

On June 25th we are coming together for an immersive celebration not only of the music, but of B.B. King's life, legacy, and the indelible mark he has left on Memphis and the world.

Expect live performances, DJ sets, special guests and an exclusive first listen to the new album!
