"Riding with the King" is a blues album by Eric Clapton and B. B. King released in 2000.

Although Eric Clapton and B. B. King had a 30-plus years' friendship originating with a chance meeting and subsequent jam session at New York City's Café Au Go Go in 1967, the idea for a collaborative album only crystallized during the sessions for King's 1997 album "Deuces Wild".

B. B. King's extensive catalog provides several tracks, including signature songs such as the smoldering "Three O'Clock Blues", alongside lesser-known numbers like the ribald shuffle "Days Of Old", and the "Live at the Regal" chestnut "Help The Poor". Elsewhere, King and Clapton look to guitarist Big Bill Broonzy (an acoustic "Key to the Highway") and Chicago pianist Maceo Merriweather (the slow-rolling "Worried Life Blues") for inspiration.

"Riding with the King" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

The album was also released on a DVD-Audio in higher resolution.
