Listening to an album a friend sent,(I think it was copied off a vinyl LP) but no track details. First song has a chorus in the background with the ladies saying So Far Away over and over. Track two is a voiceover intro kinda thing.,38 seconds long.
Track 3 is a live track that starts with typical BB blues guitar,is slow and groovy.I think this tracks called How Blue Can You Get.
8 tracks in total.
Any ideas!

Well, good luck...that song only occurs on about 20 albums and compilations.

You might try Song ID as well...or get in contact with your friend...

Are you sure the ladies are singing 'so far away'? They may be singing 'don't fly away', in which case the song is 'Hummingbird'. The live track, does BB sing 'Been downhearted, baby, ever since the day we met', and another point where BB rolls out, 'I gave you a brand new Ford, n' you said "I wanna Cadillac!" I bought you a ten dollar dinner, n' you said "Thanks for the snack!" I let you live in my penthouse, you said it was just a shack! I gave you seven children, n' now you wanna give 'em back!'? If so, then yes, the song is 'How Blue Can You Get'. 'How Blue Can You Get' first appeared live in 1965 on BB's amazing Live at the Regal. 'Hummingbird' was first released in 1970 on BB's Indianola Mississippi Seeds album. So, we can probably guess right that the album post-dates 1970, but the songs themselves probably don't.
Remember that BB has released more than 60 albums (studio and live), excluding compilations, so you're in quite the adventure in trying to pinpoint this album's history. Even BB probably doesn't know of it.

Thats sounds about right! The next track(a live track it would seem) is intriduced by a woman announcing the arrival of a 'very special man'
Has a roaring guitar solo at the start by the King, very cool! He then sings the refrain 'I been downhearted baby, since the day we met.......how blue can you get'

Then that's definitely 'How Blue Can You Get'. Sounds like quite a find. Great album.

Its a fantastic album, I just wish I'd discovered BB earlier!

Get his live stuff, such Live at the Regal. Remarkable.
