Albert King û Stax Profiles (Selected by Bill Belmont)
Perhaps no one in the music business knows more about the
recordings of blues titan Albert King than does Bill Belmont. A
longtime executive at Fantasy Records, Belmont has been rummaging
through the treasure trove of Stax tapes on the second floor of
the Fantasy building in Berkeley, California, searching for King
music to reissueùand, in many cases, to issue for the first timeù
ever since Fantasy acquired Stax in 1977. HeÆs come up with
another real winner here. It includes a live rendition of KingÆs
first hit, ôDonÆt Throw Your Love on Me So Strong,ö recorded
during the bluesmanÆs famous 1968 string of gigs at San
FranciscoÆs Fillmore Auditorium, and the full-length version ôIÆll
Play the Blues for You,ö KingÆs 1972 hit studio collaboration with
the Bar-Kays. And, as icing on the cake, thereÆs a previously
unissued version of ôBorn Under a Bad Signö from 1983, on which
King was joined by his leading guitar disciple, the late Stevie
Ray Vaughan.
