Six Silver Strings is a studio album by B.B. King released in 1985 on MCA Records. The title refers to the six strings of his Gibson ES-355 guitar, nicknamed 'Lucille', and the album continues King's exploration of contemporary blues and soul sounds.
Recorded in Los Angeles between 1984 and 1985, the album was again produced by B.B. King and Sidney A. Seidenberg. It features contributions from musicians such as keyboardist Dr. John and saxophonist Hank Crawford, and presents a mix of original songs and covers of tunes by other composers.
The album reached number 3 on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart. Although it did not generate major singles, Six Silver Strings is remembered for tracks like 'My Lucille' and 'Six Silver Strings', which reflect King's personal connection with his instrument and his unmistakable style.
