B.B. King will host his own weekly music show for XM Radio beginning in September 2008, according to a press release. The program will feature gospel and blues music selected by King. The blues icon also will share stories about the artists and other personal anecdotes from his career.
XM, in anticipation of King's DJ duties, relaunched its dedicated blues channel "Bluesville" as "BB King's Bluesville," which can be found on XM 74.
King also will release a new album, "One Kind Favor," Aug. 26 on Geffen Records. On Sept. 13, King will preside at the opening of the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in his hometown of Indianola, MS.
