Emperor Media/Boulevard Entertainment have announced the DVD and Blu-Ray release of the much-lauded film on the extraordinary life of Blues legend BB King, 'BB King The Life Of Riley'. The film was released theatrically to widespread critical acclaim in October 2012.
The legendary BB KING worked closely with Director Jon Brewer for 2 years to create this powerful film released theatrically in 2012. The ecstatic, from-the-heart, contributions from a plethora of music's superstars was a vast indication that this was the time for his story to be told.
At 86 years old, BB King, his family, friends and contemporaries unveil the true life drama that was the springboard for the future 'King of the Blues'. Battling unrelenting racism and the humiliation of segregation whist working in the cotton fields as an orphaned child, BB King lived to overcome the toughest critics in the entertainment industry and ultimately be hailed as one of the kingpins of an entire genre of music.
This candid biopic of the life story of one of our living legends is highlighted by rare archive footage and beautifully shot scenes of America's Deep South. Informative and visually stunning, 'The Life of Riley' is supported by an incredible soundtrack featuring BB King.
The DVD and Blu-Ray will be available from Monday 26th November and will feature extended interviews and live footage from the Royal Albert Hall.
To tie in to the film release Universal Music will be releasing an Original Soundtrack, 'BB King: The Life Of Riley' Official Soundtrack, with songs from the film, on the 19th November 2012.
