...King in London album (ABCX 730). He is heard with Jim Keltner, Bobby Keyes, Ringo Starr, and Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack, among others. While perhaps not as interesting--musically or sociologically--as the Memphis Slim and Howling Wolf records, it is nevertheless superb B.B. King music, with a delightful rhythmic variety...
...they discussed President Nixon's forthcoming China trip. The fun began the following day, when brightly clad tribal dancers performed for her on the rooftop terrace of the eight-story presidential mansion. To Mrs. Nixon, the dance was extraordinary: the pulsing beat of drums and hollow logs, the rhythmic clacking of ankle shells, the sinuous writhing of bare-breasted women within inches of her chair. She enjoyed herself thoroughly, and at the end of the dance, gracefully stood as two women wrapped her in a brilliant blue lappa suit and a towering head...

Another mixes the language of a Brooklyn barroom with the rhythmic moans of an OMchant.

...skull here, the tinkling of a mystical bell there, the rhythmic beat of the conga drum, and the calling voices in the background all weave a pattern that leaves the listener spell-bound. Dr. John didn't learn to play the guitar in a bar on the South Side of Chicago but from Sister Eunice at The Temple of Innocent Blood. And he didn't get his "soul" in Memphis, but from the bayous of Louisiana. Strange, very strange...
