Before the discerning community could proclaim Albert King as one of the three kings of electric blues alongside BB King and Freddie King, it took more than four decades of patient manual work: rocky, but highly motivated beginnings to play his blues on home-made guitars in In the 50s a really good guitar and a few promising songs, a number of successful singles with contractual grounding at Stax Records in Memphis and finally King landed on the sunny side of his advanced life with "Born Under A Bad Sign". The album became one of the most influential recordings of the record blues. This music also appealed to the white crowd and paved the way for King from the small clubs to the larger live events.
From the title song on, he follows familiar blues courses, from which he takes individual detours into hectic, soulful realms ("Crosscut Saw") and lets himself be carried away by full-sounding brass sections ("Kansas City"). Again and again the actors surprise with new timbres like in the humming, humming "Oh, Pretty Woman", the scratchy warning "Down Don't Bother Me" or the lively violin "The Hunter".
This Speakers Corner production was made 100% purely analog using analog master tape and mastering. All licenses and GEMA contributions have been paid.
