There Is Always One More Time is an album by the American musician B.B. King, released in 1991.[2] [3] It is dedicated to Doc Pomus, who cowrote the title song.[4] The first single was "Back in L.A."[5]
King wrote in the liner notes that There Is Always One More Time was his best album.[6]
The album was produced by Stewart Levine. Freddie Washington played bass; Jim Keltner played drums.[7] [8] Joe Sample wrote most of the songs.[9] The title track contains a four-minute guitar solo. King chose to incorporate gospel elements in many of the songs.[10]
The New York Times wrote that "until the gospelly title song, both Mr. King's voice and guitar are obscured by horns, keyboards, backup vocals and booming drums; the album needs a remix to eliminate clutter and sweetening."[11] The Calgary Herald stated that King "comes back with a bluesy sashay that's contemporary and comfortable."
The Toronto Star deemed the album "nice, laid-back blues."[12] Ebony concluded that "the gritty 'Mean and Evil' reflects his Mississippi upbringing, while the moving, melancholy title song is sure to be a blues classic."[13] The Chicago Tribune called "The Lowdown" "a classic after-hours blues, tailor-made for King's impassioned vocals."
All tracks composed by Joe Sample and Will Jennings; except where indicated
