Editorial Reviews

From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD

Guitarist Albert King, a Mississippi native, settled into a recognizable mode of expression while fronting a jump blues band in St. Louis during the 1950s. This compilation of Bobbin and King sides from 1959 to 196~including the 1961 R&B hit "Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong' '-has him condensing B. B. King expositions into dagger-sharp phrases that carry more pained feeling than does his church-trained singing. Refined St. Louis combos, often with Ike Turner or Johnnie Johnson on piano, pilot his displays of technique and conviction. Exciting mono sound. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

ALBERT KINGS FIRST SIDES WITH HORN BAND (East Saint Louis)

These sides are really great but listen to his "Born under a Bad Sign" LP/CD on Stax or very best or best of Albert King on Stax label -- Also Albert King Live (on Tomato 2-LP's reissued on Rhino CD) is one of the best live electric blues LP's ever recorded . Then listen to these earliest sides.
