Within all the blues-rock guitarists out there, I believe that Mr. Cummings deserves to be considered as one of the best and his second album published by Blind Pig Records surely proves it. After three CDs in which the accent was stronger on the rock side of his music, this time the balance has moved towards the blues and the final result is excellent. Not a bad song to be found in here, they are all good and you will not be tempted to press the skip bottom of your CD player at any time. Up-tempo, classic Texas blues, shuffles but also slow numbers in the menu. And it is especially in the slow ones that Mr. Cummings gives his best as in "Let Me Be" and "Rumors" that for me are the two best songs of the album. I would say that Working Man is his best effort so far, so if you are already his fan you shouldn't miss a second and buy it, if you are new to Albert's music this is the best point to start from. Without any doubts a full 5 stars CD!

ALBERT CUMMINGS seemed to capture the feel of SRV very well on his previous CD and it was excellent ( even if a bit derivative ). This one is a lot less SRV and a lot more CUMMINGS. Not one dud track and a consistenly high standard throughout. Definetly one of the best of the current crop of white electric blues man. If you like the guitar and the blues, this is a must have.

I bought this album on it's reviews and associated albums I own. Albert Cummings will be added to my favorite blues artist list. This album is an outstanding example of the best of todays rythmn and blues artists.

Totally Awesome CD!!!!!!!!! I've only had it a few months and I've almost worn it out. I would highly recommend this CD to everyone that is a lover of Blues music!!!! Love...Love...Love Albert Cummings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy can play. Leans towards blues rock but he has command. I love Jimmy Thackery and I put this guy up against him all day long.....

Took a chance on getting 3 cd's from Albert Cummings. He was a new artist to me and WOW Im so glad I did. You WONT be disappointed. The guys has got his groove on

Working Man by Albert Cummings is another Excellent CD , what more can I say that hasn't already been said , like the sound of his guitar so I'll continue buying his Albums Recommended .

Saw Albert live at a Blues festival in Mesa, AZ and he carried himself much like his album sounds. No frills, just music without an attitude. He was excellent btw. This album is not "magical" like an SRV record but it does what he intended to do which was just to play some darn good music.

If you like hard-rocking blues, then Albert Cummings is your man. At times he plays a fiery guitar that's reminiscent of SRV or Joe Bonamassa and at other times he has more of a jazzy sound that reminds me of Robben Ford. The last tune on this disc, Last Dance, is a slow ballad that seems out of place and doesn't work for me, but everything else is solid. Cummings' other recordings, "True to Yourself" and "From the Heart" are also highly recommended.

Albert Cummings just gets better and better. The writing, performance,
and recording quality are all very good. If you are electric blues-rock
fan, you owe it to yourself to pick up all of his CDs. Plus, catch a live
show sometime if you can. I have never seen anyone play so hard and so
long in live show. Keep it coming, Albert!
