Weekend Wildcard - Every Day I have the Blues by B.B. King

In honor of the passing of the great B.B. King, this Weekend's Wildcard is Everyday I have the Blues. This is from his 1964 live performance at The Regal. This live album is heralded as one of the greatest blues albums of all time. This is an old song that has been performed and recorded numerous times with various styles dating back to 1935 when it was originally performed in the taverns of St. Louis by the Sparks brothers (Pinetop and Milton) and was recorded July 28, 1935 by Pinetop with Henry Townsend on guitar.

RIP B.B. King!
