"Jimi Hendrix used to take pictures of my fingers to try and see what I was doing. He never quite figured it out, but Jimi was a hell of guitar player, the fastest dude around at the time. To me, he was overplaying when he tried to play the blues. He’d hit two or three good licks here and there and then speed them up and hit them over and over until he’d drown out all the good ones. The kids loved it and I liked his playing, that was his style. But don’t call him a great bluesman. I think he was going more in that direction, but we’ll never know because he didn’t take care of himself." ~ Albert King ~

People always have to bring up the god, Jimi Hendrix. He had very little in common with Albert King’s playing (whereas SRV combined elements of Albert King with Hendrix to arrive at his own volcanic style). Having lived that era, I would say, Hendrix was great for the time, and for what he was: a showman, innovative in a number of respects, very skilled at effects, but vastly overrated in actual playing, and this is so evident when he tried to play an acoustic guitar; there were many better guitarists, in every genre. Saw Terry Kath at the Fillmore in ‘69. There’s a reason he impressed Hendrix. Anyone who ever saw Jerry Reed when he was serious, or Chet Atkins, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass up close, knows. But pollsters put JH at the top, ignoring cats like Kath, Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan, Gary Moore, etc. It’s ludicrous.

I saw Albert King in the mid 70s he was mesmerising and brilliant, in the quiet sections all you could hear was everyone's feet tapping in time with the music, it was absolutely sensational !

Alberts playing and his tone had something special about them, something that resonates with you. So far I haven't heard a single blues player who could reproduce Alberts style of playing, not even his tone.

Great playing, but what is even more great is how that guitar stays perfectly in tune for the entire time.

Thanx for making this great tune available to hear. This live version is outstanding. I begin to weep and tears come to my eyes upon listening, and watching Albert King here.

We parked next to Albert's bus back stage at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena in the 80s and got to sit at his pic-nic table with him between acts.That was a hell of a weekend.Also he didn't use a pick.I saw him in Memphis a year later, he remembered me and since he didn't have a pick, he gave me a pill bottle with his name on it.Filled at the pharmacy on Beale St.I have probably 150 picks from guitar players.That bottle is by far my favorite.I also have one from Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel'( Christpher Guest)picks.That was a hard one to get.lol Hes not an easy one to talk to.

Best blues ever. 15 mins of playing only half a dozen different notes, but still making it interesting and expressive. Thats an art!
@danielmicheli3545 жыл бұрын
Well, you know what they say: it's not about how many notes you play, it's about HOW you play'em, WHEN you play'em and how much SOUL you put on them when you're playing'em. And this man had tons of all that in his playing

The Fillmore was a superb concert hall. I saw many shows there. Everybody who performed at the Fillmore East had great shows. That's why they recorded so many live lp's there. NYC never again had such a perfect theater for live music. I didn't attend this show but I saw Albert King in 1968 at the Cafe Au Go Go in nyc. It was a small club and I lucked into a table in front of the stage. He was monstrously powerful. And he was a sweet man who (like many bluesman of the 60s) clearly enjoyed the appreciation and work he received from the audiences of hippies n' hipsters who'd discovered those great musicians for themselves in that era. May they all rest in peace now, secure in the knowledge their music will last for eternity.
