How come I never heard of Albert King?

Who else am I missing out on?

If Albert King does something for you you might check out some of his contemporaries such as:
Otis Rush
Freddie King
Magic Sam
Luther Allison
Jimmy Dawkins
Buddy Guy

Sadly...but honestly I think its because BB is still alive and playin and kinda overshadows alot of blues guitarist of his era with his longevity. Though they had similar style, Albert King is highly regarded as one of the grandmasters in blues guitar. Don't get me wrong, BB is a grandmaster as well...

Pick up Hendrix's "Blues" album...probably my favorite hendrix album. He does Albert Kings "Born Under a Bad Sign." Awesome!

And neither sang "Stand by Me" either. Long live Ben E. King!

Freddy King,

Otis Rush,

This one?

Thanks I think I'll get it.

I've got a sound board recording of Red House from
Royal Albert Hall in 1969. 12 minutes of the best Hendrix I've heard.

This is a really good release. I HIGHLY recommend it. Really great music, and sound quality is nice as well for a CD

 

[Cherokee Mist]

Here are some excellent contemporary musicians who were directly influenced by the forefathers of the blues:

- Aynsley Lister
- Bill Perry (first two releases..)
- Lurrie Bell
- Eric Gales
- Lanc Lopez
- Buddaheads
- Carl Verheyen
- Gary Moore
- Scott Henderson (especially 'Dog Party')
- Tab Benoit
- The Allman Brothers Band (their first few releases and their last release 'Hittin' The Note')
- The Derek Trucks Band (especially 'Songlines')
- Coco Montoya

I'm sorry, but I'm too lazy to list individual names of releases. All of these artists are readily available though...
