?It took more than four decades of patient hard
work until a discriminating congregation could
proclaim Albert King as one of the three kings of
the electric blues, alongside B. B. King and
Freddie King. Albert had a tough but highly
motivated beginning, playing blues on a guitar he
had made himself. Later he bought a really good
instrument, then came a couple of promising songs,
and a series of successful singles made under a
contract with Stax Records in Memphis. Finally,
late in life, King landed on the sunny side with
'Born Under A Bad Sign'. The album became one of
the most influential recordings in the history of
the blues. King?s music was appreciated by white
people too, which smoothed his path out of small
clubs and on to big live events.
Right from the title song, he travels along
familiar tracks in the blues world, occasionally
making a detour to hectic, soulful realms
('Crosscut Saw') and letting himself be carried
away by strident winds ('Kansas City'). Over and
over again, the musicians surprise one with ever
new sound colourings, as in the hum and buzz of
'Oh, Pretty Woman', the brusque admonitory 'Down
Don?t Bother Me', or the swinging fiddling of 'The
Hunter'.
This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure
