I was a bit of a latecomer to playing the blues, but I always dug Albert King. He had this way with playing single note blues that has had a real influence on how I approach playing blues runs. His style is so economical, and listening to him, you always hear a story as he plays. I just dig it! Here’s a great video of him the great song, “I’ll Play the Blues for You.” This video was shot later in his life. Even then, the man could just make that guitar sing.
And here he is with SRV… Amazing!

Albert was simply amazing with his guitar. he was a true perfectionist of his craft and he only sorrounded himself with top shelf musicians. He and Stevie proved to be a “lucky” combination that just could not be beat. It is so nice to see people are still interested in his work and find it as new and amazing as I do nearly every time I hear it. A great selection of his would be his live from Sweden concert before he “retired” (1981-82?). And look for his “As the years go passing by”. Truly breath taking!
