BB Chung King is one of the most under-rated Blues rock guitarist in the business! I don't know what happened but his inital well deserved success with the The early Buddaheads went up like a puff of smoke in the air! His guitar prowess can match most any of the very best current "Blues Rock" guitarist in the business! I don't know if he's reached a point where he's not into playing and gigging all over which is required to keep yourself popular and in the mix in the music industry! Anyway I just wanted to throw my feelings into the mix for this incredibly talented guitarist and musician! Mac Baker
gibbymy335 Alan was doing exactly what he wanted to do.He shifted his focus to songwriting and producing so he could be home and be a father as opposed to touring constantly. He was a dedicated father and loved his children very much. In our industry he was very highly rated still.
Alan is a fine guitar player and has inspired many. I am one of them that he made a big impression with. Great to hear you play again Alan.... Don Auten,
Very sad to just now find out that Alan passed away from a heart attack recently! Another amazing blues guitarist has been called home to play in the "House Blues Band" in heaven! R.I.P. and carry on Alan Mirikitani!
I've been a huge fan of BB's since I heard him play in the movie "My Cousin Vinny". It was only 3 sec.s of music in one scene, but it was such a funky groove that I knew instantly this guy was something special. I told myself that I had to find out who that was before the end of the day and researched online until I did. I ended up downloading about 20 Buddaheads tracks that day and I have just about everything the band has put out since, but ironically I have never been able to find that original track from the movie anywhere. I have not stopped listening to this music since. In fact, I was downloading their newest release when I stumbled upon the news that Alan had passed. I will miss him tremendously and count myself very lucky to have discovered his music so many years ago. Feels a little like the day Stevie died. :(
It seems that you can't read a comment section without finding that the Artist has died recently . It seems to really be happening a lot with Great Blues Guitarists . Man i hate this . Another tragic loss for the Blues Community and their family . R.I.P BB . You'll be missed Greatly .
Wow.. I came to this video by accident. Sorry that I have not heard of him before (but then again, I am not from the US).. This is the first time I have heard him.. and he is Great!! Where can I get more of his music?
I was there, I got to hear him play a handful of times. He was amazing!
saw him play a lot of times I was never disappointed he was a very talented musician his group was amazing always tight spot on !!!!!!!!!!!!
I will always remember the great time we had at the festival. I miss you everyday.❤
One of the greatest blues players in my opinion

Weren't they originally called, BB Chung King and the Screaming Buddaheads?
Yes. Had to change because of a cease and desist from Chun King Foods. Became the Budda Heads.
