B.B. King is returning to where he started, as a DJ in a radio station.
In the 1940`s, King worked at radio station WDIA. His new gig is with XM Radio.Starting in September, King will launch his blues channel `Bluesville` on XM74.
"I love the blues and am looking forward to sharing my passion, stories and my favorite music with all the folks who listen to XM, one of the few places where the vibrant sounds of the blues still thrives," said B.B. King in a statement.
King fans need not worry that the 82-year old legend is hanging up his guitar. In August, Geffen will release his latest album `One Kind Favor`. T-Bone Burnett produced the album.
Then on September 13, King will open the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center in his hometown on Indianola, MS.
