Hit: 5 Stars
This album, IN SESSION by Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan, is a very interesting listen for any serious fans of Stevie Ray, or any fans of the blues.
Because Stevie Ray Vaughan's playing style was greatly influenced by the less famous Albert King, at times it is hard to distinguish exactly who is playing lead guitar, but that just goes to show how great most of the music is on this CD.
The singing is overwhelmingly Albert King, since Stevie only sings lead vocals on the lone Stevie Ray song on this CD, "Pride and Joy," but I really like the singing of Albert King, and this album is a great introduction to Albert King's work, to me, since all the other songs are from Albert King's repertoire.
Sometimes the two guitarists are a little timid, starting out, but the longer the song goes on, the more comfortable they seem to get, and this CD has many long songs on it.
When I first saw this album, I thought it looked like some questionable bootleg, to me, and the CD cover art is definitely amateurish, but the CD liner notes briefly explain the scenario surrounding this recording, and the music makes it all worth your while in buying it and listening to it. If you like Stevie Ray Vaughan, then you will probably enjoy this insightful performance.
Like a live concert album, this CD retains conversation between the two star players, but at a much lower volume than the music and singing. This talk is interesting the first few times that you hear it, but the CD actually assigns most of this inbetween songs talk to their own track list numbers, so you can set your CD player to skip the talk, which I think makes the music flow more like a standard music album, not having to wait a minute or two between songs.
I am very happy with this Stevie Ray Vaughan CD rarity! If you collect Stevie Ray Vaughan CDs, then you can buy this one with confidence that the musical performances and audio quality are comparable to Stevie's major label CD releases!
