I was thinking of posting some BB King video and then it dawned on me that while I have posted B.B. King and Freddie King I have not posted any Albert King. And really that is wrong, so let us fix that.

Born: Apr 25, 1923 in Indianola, Mississippi
Died: Dec 21, 1992 in Memphis, Tennessee
Famous for these songs:
"Born Under a Bad Sign"
"That's What the Blues Is All About"
"Blues at Sunrise"
Famous for these albums

T-Bone Walker
Blind Lemon Jefferson

Notes from YouTube;
The HUGE man with the HUGE bends - Albert King, in great shape at Fillmore East 1970. Listen to his tone, ain't that great?
Albert King at Montreux 1990 - Why are you so mean to me?
Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride and joy
I call this one guitar porn. That is how good it is. I really beleave that this is better than sex. LOL

Awesome videos. Glad you chose Albert... Thanks.
Thanks, really enjoyed these -
These are great videos, but SRV and King is primo! Definitely qualifies for "Guitar Porn" status. I'm not sure if I would rate it better than sex (ok, if it's solo sex, yeah).
I saw Albert King in Chicago way back in 1981. I'll never forget it.
BTW, very cool blog! I'll be visiting again soon.
I found your blog to be very informative. Thanks for sharing the videos. Diana sent me over to your blog. Why not join us in our hopping journey?
