AllMusic Review by Cub Koda
This collection has "Don't Answer the Door," "Paying the Cost to Be the Boss," and a nice live re-cut of "Sweet Sixteen" to highly recommend it. Although this 1968 LP is one of King's best, the "electric" part of the title makes it sound like there's an acoustic B.B. King album lurking around somewhere that everyone somehow missed in the last 50-plus decades. To be sure, these are rock-solid performances all recorded between 1965 to 1968, just as King's music was getting slicker and more urban. This was one of the albums that helped introduce B.B. to a more modern audience (it's gone on to sell over a million copies), heading straight to the timeline of "The Thrill Is Gone" putting him on the map worldwide.
