You can find it here.
Great straight up blues from Albert King. His original versions of 'The Sky Is Crying', done masterfully by SRV, and 'Phone Booth', scorched by Robert Cray, are typical of King's working man style. His vocals are good but never get in the way of the real treat, which is King's guitar playing. His stinging guitar style is put to great effect here, and it never disappoints.
The standouts here are pretty much every track, simply because they don't deviate from the style that made King famous. You can hear the influence King's style had on Stevie Ray Vaughan, although SRV played with a lot more rock influence. King's style is classic electric blues, and he never backs down.
4 out of 5 stars
Will I listen to it again? It will be part of my regular blues rotation.
