Editorial Review:
It sounds like the beginning of a story: "So, Slowhand and the King of the Blues were riding in a car ..." If this is a musical journey, it's the kind that rolls down long, empty stretches of country highway at 80 miles an hour, with the top down and the stereo blasting. Clapton and King may be more city than country, but this collection has the relaxed, laid-back feel that only comes from a pair of veterans doing what they do best. What they do here is cover 12 classic blues songs, many of them staples of King's repertoire, so the title of this album makes sense. Whether it's the rollicking rock & roll of the title track, or the acoustic shuffle of "Key to the Highway," or the sweet notes of "When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer," a real sense of pleasure comes through on this album, the kind of pleasure one gets from jamming late at night with a good friend. --Genevieve Williams

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great music!!!
I was totally excited and pleased with this purchase, I have always loved both these artists.
Rating: - Not perfect, but pretty close
Eric and B.B. are so good that it is easy to overlook this album's short comings. Most everything works well, making this a great collaboration between two musical giants.
Rating:  - BLUES CLUES ????
Where's the Blues? This stuff is garbage. I always heard talk of Claptons greatness but have never actually witnessed any. I love BB and have a few of his great live albums. This album is 2 guys waiting for the other to take charge and play some guitar, too bad it never happens. I think most of the reviews here are written by marketing shills thus making anything with even 4 stars really a much lower rating. Seems to be way too many 5 star reviews on most albums no matter how good they are. Even ... Read More
Rating:  - The best of both artists
This is a really easy, relaxing listen. Very enjoyable. The best of the best. Can't miss with this one.
Rating: - BB King and Eric Clapton - Riding With The King
This disc is pure fun from start to finish. It's two old blues guys (yes, old, sorry guys!) singing and playing guitar. It's awesome, brilliant and above all it's a blast to listen to for any fan of the blues, BB or Clapton, or a good way to get someone hooked on the blues for the first time!
