Easy Listening Blues is the fourth studio album by B.B. King, released in 1962 on Crown Records. The title suggests a softer, more accessible approach, though the content remains authentic blues. It was recorded in sessions likely held between 1961 and 1962, with King accompanied by his regular band.
The album includes tracks such as "I've Got a Right to Love My Baby" and "The Wrong Man", along with covers of classics. Unlike other records of the time, Easy Listening Blues features slightly more polished arrangements, with occasional horn sections, while maintaining the essence of King's blues. Crown Records continued its policy of budget releases.
Easy Listening Blues did not have a significant impact on sales charts, but it is appreciated by King's followers for its consistent quality. The cover shows King smiling, with a blue background, reflecting the album's more relaxed tone. It is an example of King's work during a transitional period toward a more commercial sound.
