My Kind of Blues is a studio album by B.B. King released in 1960 by Crown Records. It was recorded in Los Angeles and stands out as one of the first albums where King primarily performs ballads and blues standards, showcasing a softer, more melodic style.
The album includes covers of popular blues songs like 'Drivin' Wheel' and 'My Own Fault', as well as original compositions. Unlike other works of the time, My Kind of Blues features King accompanied by a horn section, giving it a more orchestral sound.
Although not a major commercial success upon release, the album is considered by critics as an early display of King's versatility. It was reissued on CD in 1991 by Ace Records with bonus tracks, and remains a valued piece among collectors.
