B.B. King is coming to town, and the man is turning eighty this year, so don’t put off today what you might not be able to hear tomorrow. Not that the reigning King of the Blues is slowing down any. With a world tour and a new album (The Ultimate Collection, twenty-one of King’s greatest hits, is available March 15), the man is in fine form, and sounds as good as ever. His music really should be heard in a venue that serves some good fried food (seats that spin are ideal, too), but King has earned a measure of comfort after so many decades of hard work, and his smoky, low-down voice should rumble the cubes at Orchestra Hall just fine. 612-371-5656; www.minnesotaorchestra.org
