One of the most significant figures of the mid-1960s blues boom, Albert King was overshadowed in the public eye by his namesake B.B. King for much of his career, though of the two musicians Albert's guitar style was the more fluid. This timely Stax retrospective is a concise overview of some of the guitarist's most significant tracks, including his first hit single, "Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong," the elemental blues song "Born Under a Bad Sign," later covered by Cream, and the guitar tour de force of "I'll Play the Blues for You."
