Born Under a Bad Sign
Stax 50- A 50th Anniversary Celebration 2007 via Stax
a note about this track

Blues Plate Special: Albert King Learned To Play The Diddley-Bow And Cigar-Box Guitar As A Kid In Mississippi. Started Out In Gospel Groups, But After Hearing Blind Lemon Jefferson, The Blues Came Calling. St. Louis Was His Stomping Grounds Before Some Time Playing In Gary With Jimmy Reed Before Relocating To Chicago and signing To Parrot Records. On Stage King Cut An Impressive Figure - Playing A Gibson Flying-V Left-Handed And Upside Down. His Influence Is Apparent In The Work Of Joe Bonamassa And The Late Stevie Ray Vaughan. When He Died In Memphis In 1992, The Blues Lost A Master Of The Understated Phrase.
