Albert King – Legendary Bop Rhythm & Blues Classics (CD)
Product Details
Albert King's left-handed, upside-down guitar style influenced generations of players, from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Eric Clapton, but before the Stax recordings that made him a legend, there was this. These 1953 Chicago sides capture a young King still finding his footing, making them essential documents for anyone serious about understanding where the blues went in the second half of the 20th century.
Historic collection featuring the very first recordings by one of Blues music's most influential guitarists and singers, Albert King. Recorded in 1953 in Chicago, these tracks mark the beginning of one of the greatest careers in Blues. All selections newly remastered.
