Free Music Review: The real "KING" of the blues
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an exceptional blues album from Albert King. It includes such classics as Born under a bad sign, Oh pretty woman, the hunter, and Laundromat blues. Buy this album and listen to Albert's guitar sing and then you will recognize why such greats as stevie ray Vaughan and eric clapton site king as a major influence.Free Music Review: lovely restoration
Hit: 5 Stars
Arguably the best sixties blues album now in terrific sound. It lacks a couple songs included on 'King of the Blues', but blues fans will want to hear the richer sound on this disc. Every track's a winner.Free Music Review: Forget it

"King Of The Blues Guitar" is much better. However if I were starting my Albert King Collection I would first buy Rhino's "The Ultimate Collection" and then of equal importance I would buy Modern Blues' "Let's Have A Natural Ball" lastly I would buy MCA's "Door To Door". While there are certainly more Albert King CDs to be had, these three issues are MANDATORY!Free Music Review: Greatest Blues Guitar Album Ever?!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are reading this review, I'll have to assume you are new to blues and blues guitar in particular. If you weren't, you wouldn't need any convincing by me to pick this classic up right away. BB King may be called the King of the Blues, but Albert King is the player most wished they could sound like. He was Stevie Ray Vaughan's favorite player and the only man Hendrix said he was afraid to share a stage with. Live Wire, Blues Power may feature flashier long extended guitar solos, but this cd, more then any other, is the one I use to answer the question: who is Albert King? I just pop it in the deck and let the opening title track fill the room. Two or three tracks are usually all I need to get any newbie running out for their own copy. With guys like Booker T., Steve Cropper, Donald "Duck" Dunn, and the great Issac Hayes backing Albert up, this thing grooves from begining to end and every track is a gem. This could quite possibly be the single greatest and most important blues album ever recorded. It's so nice to see it available again. Do yourself a favor and make this your next blues guitar cd. While you're at it, pick up Live Wire, Blues Power and I'll Play the Blues for You. You may have just found a new favorite guitar player.
