David LaDuke is dedicating his cover of B.B. King s song Bad Luck to the late great guitarist, himself. B.B. King passed away on May 14, 2015, from Alzheimer s disease and other health issues.
Though David s guitar style is more chord-oriented, and B.B. s was more single-note and deliberate, he was always a fan. I ve been to tons of his concerts and am heavily influenced by the blues.
B.B. King released Bad Luck in 1956, and it hit number 3 on the charts. The song is credited as a co-write with Joe Josea, who was also responsible for discovering Johnny Guitar Watson. Aleksandar Filimonovic portrays Josea in the Netflix film Dolemite Is My Name.
