<i>Now Appearing at Ole Miss</i> 1980 live album by B. B. King

Now Appearing at Ole Miss is a live album by B. B. King, recorded in 1979 and released as a double album on MCA Records in 1980. The live recordings were augmented with overdubs, most notably with percussion instruments. This has been criticized by reviewers as making the album stale, and it is widely regarded as B.B.

King Experience Band" with another B.B. King band veteran James "Boogaloo" Bolden.
