After hearing 78s by such luminaries as Lonnie Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson, the young guitarist decided to pursue a career in blues. He moved to Gary, Indiana where he recorded his first disc for Parrot Records, and in 1956 relocated to Missouri where he began playing his signature Gibson Flying V electric guitar, which he named \"Lucy\". In 1959 he signed to the Bobbin label racking up a num-ber of regional hits before joining Stax Records in the mid-60s and becoming an international star. Following the label's demise, he joined Utopia and later Tomato Re-cords in 1976. Albert stayed at Tomato for seven years releasing the funk and soul-tinged New Orleans Heat in 1978 produced by NOLA legend Allen Toussaint at his Sea-Saint Studios. Leading New Orleans session musi-cians give the songs - which include updates of several of King's earlier classics such as 'Born Under a Bad Sign' and 'I Get Evil' - a real flavour of the Crescent City. Albert King continued to play concerts and festivals throughout America and Europe right up until his sud-den, premature, death after suffering a fatal heart attack in December 1992.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Get Out Of My Life Woman\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Born Under A Bad Sign (Tomato Recording)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. The Feeling\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. We All Wanna Boogie\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. The Very Thought Of You\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSide B\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. I Got The Blues\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. I Get Evil\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Angel Of Mercy\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Flat Tire\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5060767444610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.19.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600443781275,"sku":"498083","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/packshot-albert-king-new-orleans-heat-uk-lp-vinyl-vinyl-lp-relix.jpg?v=1779364584"},{"product_id":"albert-king-live-fabulous-forum-1972-cd","title":"Albert King – Live Fabulous Forum 1972 (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlbert King spent the early '70s crossing freely between blues royalty and the rock festival circuit, sharing stages with Hendrix-generation crowds who understood exactly what they were hearing.
