Released in 1975, the original Lucille Talks Back stands as one of B.B. King’s most soulful and emotionally rich recordings — a masterwork that fused Rhythm & Soul with his signature style of blues in ways that have never been fully appreciated by the mainstream. Despite its brilliance, the album never received widespread distribution, and its entirety is not found on major streaming platforms, leaving it largely unknown to the audiences it deserves. This album will release June 26, 2025.

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.

This bundle includes an 11x17 poster.
