B.B. King: On the Road

WHEN B.B. KING PASSED AWAY, MEMBERS OF HIS BAND CAME TOGETHER TO HONOUR THE GREAT MAN BY SHARING THEIR PERSONAL STORIES FROM THE ROAD B.B. King spent 65 years on the road, with hardly a break for more than a few weeks' time, totalling some 18,000 performances. To say that there were some more than memorable incidents over all these years would be a massive understatement. Impossible to include all these anecdotes of the numerous dedicated musicians and companions who lived and played with the great BB King in Jon Brewer's highly acclaimed Documentary 'B.B. King : The Life of Riley' featuring Morgan Freeman, this feature documentary organically arose after the passing of King in 2015, when a legion of his past band members, family and companions reached out in an effort to share these stories from the numerous Tours over decades, recounting the journey they shared with 'B.B.' through civil unrest, historical moments in music and in stage, from 'Chitlin' Circuit to Stadiums with The Rolling Stones and U2. A cinematic pictorial feast, featuring the story-telling style that has established Brewer at the pinnacle of Documentary filmmaking.
