Recorded live in San Francisco in 1968, here's
Albert King pretty much at the top of his game, blasting out tons of great guitar and singing his heart to an appreciative crowd of young hippies. With a tight four-piece road band backing him,
King fires up his Flying V and slams down hard on material like
Freddie King's "San-Ho-Zay," "you Upset Me Baby," "Call It Stormy Monday," "Crosscut Saw," and "Drifting Blues." This is one of two volumes from the same Fillmore stand and both are absolutely essential to any
Albert King collection; in many ways, they're the perfect introduction to this blues giant. ~ Cub Koda
