Here it is folks...this album, released in 1967, when 13-year-old Vaughan's style was still in its formative stages, is pretty much the basis of SRV's toolbox, particularly "Personal Manager" and "Laundromat Blues", with King's groundbreaking super-bend stylings all delivered with impeccable taste and use of dynamics! Albert King was no "blueshredder" by any means...he was more interested in squeezing as much emotion out of every note possible, and SQUEEZE them he did! The rock-solid backing of the equally legendary Stax house band plus the Memphis Horns add a rock-solid backing for King. My favorite part of the whole album is toward the end of King's burning solo in "Personal Manager" when he's bending the crap out of the strings, and a band member "whoops" in encouragement in the background...classic! I'm not sure who it was...I'm guessing Al Jackson, Jr...whoever it was obviously just knocked out by King's playing...I mean, who else was playing like that back then? Everybody in the studio must have been really digging it, for sure!The slower ballads on this album are a stark departure from King's down-n-dirty blues guitar vehicles, but I suppose the producer was interested in showing all sides of King's abilities as a performer, and he indeed croons with the best of 'em on these more relaxing tracks. I actually really enjoy his vocal performance on "The Very Thought Of You"...he sounds like Nat King Cole at the beginning of it, and his strong vibrato really shines throughout on that track...you'd be surprised how versatile Mr. King is!Anyway, just an awesome record, and the sound quality is superb, especially for being 35 years old (when this re-master was released). INDiSPENSABLE for blues guitar fans!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Inspired the blues we know so well *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2006* Albert King is a blues master and "Born Under a Bad Sign" is one of his most prominent achievements.On this album the band consisted of all top-notch musicians a few of which would rise to stardom. There was Steve Cropper on guitar[Blues Bros.],Booker T and Isacc Hayes(Shaft)-keyboards, Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass, Al Jackson Jr on drums , and those Memphis Horns rounding it out. Booker T. and Donald" Duck" Dunn recently did work with Neil Young and toured with CSNY on their 2000 reunion tour.When you listen to this collection of songs you get an uncanny sense of deja vu. Like you've heard a snippet of a song somewhere before.For instance, "The Hunter" when King is singing " I've got you in the site of my love gun", immediately I recognized that line; However ,I remember it as Robert Plant bellowing it from "How Many More Times" off Led Zepplin's 1969 debut release. Or the style that Albert King had of talking in the songs. For instance "Crosscut Saw" he says "Now watch this" before breaking into a hot lead like he was going to do a trick and trying to get your attention. It made me think of Jimi when he would say "Move over rover, and let Jimi take over". And his guitar playing is profound,laying down a foundation for guitar greats like Jimi Hendrix to build their stellar style upon. It was with great insight that Bill Graham, the founder of the FILLMORE EAST and FILLMORE WEST had Albert King billed with the psychedelic San Francisco bands and white blues bands rising out of England in the late 1960's. Groups like the Yardbirds ,Cream [Eric Clapton] ,Led Zepplin [Jimmy Page], The Jeff Beck group, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. Albert King is quilted throughout the blues we know today making his contribution legendary. If you love the blues I strongly recommend "Born Under a Bad Sign" as a worthy addition to your collection. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! *by E***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2022* This cd is "ultra" in every way.
