 Rating:  - Classic blues setHere is the legendary Albert King demonstrating why he managed to influence artists like Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Guy, and Eric Clapton. If the word "stinging" applies to blues playing, then let it settle-in here: Stormy Monday Blues, I'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town, a couple of numbers associated with other "Kings", San-Hozay (Freddie King) and You Upset Me Baby (B. B. King). San Hozay (wish they kept that one up for at least four minutes!), Crosscut Saw and Oo-ee-Baby (the closer) are uptempo and are as cleanly performed as they are mixed. To me, blues *today* is a bit bottom-heavy, and the lead vocal lacks presence. Listen to this historic set and learn what a true blues set and *recording* should sound like. Rating:  - RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "ALBERT WAS THE GREATEST WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY, BUT REMEMBER THE RECORDING IS FROM 1968!"If you're one of "Shaq's, The King Of The World Blues Reviewer's" loyal fans, you already know that Albert King is my all-time favorite electric blues guitarist. If you're not one of my existing fans, but want to know the "truth" about all the criteria that you should consider before spending your hard earned "blues" dollars, you should thank me after this review! What you should know is, that this "live" performance was recorded on June 27, 1968. It was released in 1990. Was Albert great that night? Hell yea! He was great! But... the recording technology was from 1968! If you're a modern day blues fan, that hasn't had experience with how great Albert was, you may be disappointed by the lack of 21st century sound quality. But that is not Albert's ...

While I love Albert King and live blues music something is missing for me on this album. Sound quality is not great and is backing band is nothing special on this album. Check out In Sessions or Live Wire for better material for Albert King, one the great blues guitarist of all time. Rating:  - F for sound Well this is a total F for sound. I have 3 dif 3 cd players, home, port, and car, and yes they are good ones, car is a Q45 with a Bose. I bought this CD because of the reviews I read here, what is everyone smoking? or is there not that good of stuff avail from Albert? I don't own any other CD's, but I do know about him from the SRV Sessions VHS I have had for a few years, and it sounds pretty good. This CD sounds like a taper recorded it, from that last row in the back or something. I have both SF CD's, the both sound the same. Can someone email me please and let me know what Albert King CD's. If any, have good clear sound. What I have that is great for Live shows is Cream Reunion DVD and CD, and Roger Watters ...

Other serious guitar players impress other guitar players, but their talent surpasses the mortal mind, and they might not appeal to a wide audience. Albert King is a guitar players' guitar player that everyone can enjoy. More than a few of history's great guitar players have admired Albert King's talent. Yet his "soul" (as he calls it), song selection and sex-appeal delight blues fans everywhere. If you're a serious guitar player or just a blues fan who has never picked up an instrument, then you'll like Albert King. He still has a following from a brief trip to Argentina shortly before his death. Even Latinos like this guy! ... Read More: |
