King, Albert - Born Under a Bad Sign LP (180g)

It took a while for Albert King to wend his way to Memphis and Stax studios but when he finally did, in 1966, it was worth the wait. The collaboration between King and the Stax house band, Booker T. & The MG's, was instantly successful. King’s stinging lead guitar was underpinned by the greasy vibe of the backing outfit which, along with his instantly identifiable throaty vocals, pushed the slow blues into the red zone.
