There’s Albert King on record and then there’s Albert King playing in his natural habitat: Live!
1973’s Blues At Sunset is one of the greatest live blues records of all time. Not only does it showcase King’s signature licks and mean guitar tone, but it features energetic versions of “Matchbox Blues”, “Killing Floor”, a cover of Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man” and an extended arrangement of “Call It Stormy Monday” that weighs in at just under 12 minutes. Sizzling stuff!
