No puedes mover unas pulgadas sin tropezar con una superestrella en este álbum de duetos famosos. En Deuces Wild, va más allá del mundo del blues, de colaborar con gente tan improbables como Willie Nelson, el guitarrista de Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, e incluso el rapero Heavy D.
En el disco se grabo versiones de los clasicos de BB, como "The Thrill Is Gone" (con Tracy Chapman) y "Paying The Cost To Be The Boss" (con los Rolling Stones), el guitarslinger del blues legendario reinventa su propio material para dar cabida a sus amigos, cuyo respeto por el Rey y el entusiasmo por este proyecto son evidentes en cada pista.
Más eficaces son las melodías que se encuentra BB emparejado con veteranos como Joe Cocker ("Dangerous Mood") o Van Morrison ("If You Love Me").
Deuces Wild fue nominado para un Grammy en 1999, por Mejor Álbum de Blues Contemporáneo.
