Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign (180g Vinyl) - Vinyl Rhythm & Blues

(1966/67 'Stax') (34:43/11) Audiophile LP, 180 grm. ALBERT KING - voc/gtr, w/ BOOKER T &, THE MGs, MEMPHIS HORNS.

Along with B.B. and Freddie, Albert King will forever be hailed as one of the original 'Three Kings of the Blues Guitar.' Cutting a dynamic 6' 4' figure on stage while playing his 1958 Gibson Flying V upside down to accommodate his left-handedness (paging Mr. Hendrix!), Albert earned the nickname 'The Velvet Bulldozer' due to his forceful yet subtle style. An enormous influence on the British blues scene, Eric Clapton was perhaps King's most vocal fan, crediting Cream classics like 'Strange Brew' as direct extensions of King's playing. Other axemen falling under his sway were the afore-mentioned Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Mick Taylor, Joe Walsh, Robbie Robertson and Stevie Ray Vaughan. By the late 1960s, King was headlining rock shows around the country and turning on generation of American fans to electric blues.
To record Born Under a Bad Sign, King walked 'Lucy,' his well-worn Flying V, down Memphis' McLemore Avenue and straight into Stax Studios. Once inside, he enlisted the aid of Booker T. and the MGs as well as the Memphis Horns. Talk about a backing band! The combination proved absolutely explosive as the MGs solid groove allowed King to lay down stinging solos with abandon. Though rightly hailed for his guitar prowess, King was also an incredibly soulful singer as he definitively demonstrates throughout the album. Often, he used his guitar as an extension of his voice, answering a vocal line with an equally descriptive lick. Just listen to the back-and-forth of 'Laundromat Blues' for a prime example. The album's title track, which became King's signature song, also features fiery vocal and guitar interplay. For the 'velvet' side of the bulldozer, try King's tender treatment of the Tin Pan Alley chestnut, 'The Very Thought of You.'
Upon release in 1967, Born Under a Bad Sign was hailed as an instant classic. It has since been recognized as one of the all-time great blues albums, with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award, placement in Rolling Stone's '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' and induction into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame's 'Classics of Blues Recordings' among its many accolades. No thorough blues or rock collection is complete without it. Sundazed has sourced this edition directly from the original Stax analog masters to ensure that every lick, every line, every shout is captured. In addition to the album's eleven original tracks, this Sundazed release adds two King rare mono single sides, 'Funk-Shun' and 'Overall Junction.' This 'bad sign' ain't nothin' but good!
