King Albert with a Classic Stax Session,
This review is from: I'm in a Phone Booth Baby (Audio CD)
This is a great session from one of the most underrated of the bluesmen. Albert King influenced many of the great modern rock/blues guitarists, such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, yet his own legacy remains largely unrecognized. The big man with the Flying V provides a concise, sharply executed set here. The band he fronts is up to the task, contributing nicely done organ, piano, sax, and trumpet fills behind King Albert. King was a notorious perfectionist in the studio, so he must have been pleased with the efforts from these musicians. Standout tracks include the wonderful title cut, "Firing Line", and "You Gotta Sacrifice". An excellent version of "The Sky is Crying" is probably the strongest piece on this solid set. A must have for blues lovers.

This is the real thing!,
By Self-kerbed "Kerbistani Rebel" (Kerby, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I'm in a Phone Booth Baby (Audio CD)
Wonder how we kept ourselves from going stir-crazy on cold nights in Northern Illinois? A wild cocktail comprised of equal parts powerful music and things that are better left unsaid. Suffice to say that I don't know how I let myself live without this disc. It gets down quick, with great guitar and no-nonsense blues from first cut to last. Amazing that it makes me feel just as good and happy and alive when I hear it playing across a sunny lawn in California as it did back in the dark clubs and cold, gritty winters in Chicago.

This review is from: I'm in a Phone Booth Baby (Audio CD)
Albert king had a great impact on many guitar players.from Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughn. this album is but a small sample of the vast array of blues he produced. all in all, one of his best.
