I was there for all these sessions. God Bless Mr. Albritt. That's what I called him and he called me Mr. SongRoller. I wrote 9 songs for him and loved every minute of my time with him,. I sat between Carla Thomas and her Dad, Rufus at Mr. Albritt's funeral.

I'm a white guy that grew up in the suburbs, great parents, good childhood, went to a good college, yet a have a sadness deep inside me. I stumbled across the blues in college. Albert King sings the soundtrack of my life. "If you don't dig the blues you got a hole in your soul"

I thought Albert King's version was beautiful, just perfect. They were both giants and I don't question anything either of them did. I really liked hearing Albert King's version; when your comment first came in, I was out walking, put it on my headphones and listened three times.

For all those disrespecting this version it has to be noted this was the last recording Albert ever did and he wasn't in good health . He passed not long after it was made. The mixing was very low and Albert's guitar has a hard time competing with the backing .his singing is not at it's strongest. I still love this LP, done on a UK label, as it serves as a landmark however it didn't sell well. I play the recording quite a bit though.

Mindboggle100 Albert was simply the best, the Red House album is special because its a mix of styles and genres. I think its a great place for people who aren't die hard Blues fans to start listening to his style of lead playing. The Red House album holds my interest throughout, it never gets old. Albert was definitely a pioneer & an exceptional Blues man. His vocals are way better than a lot of clones that came after him IMHO. Even Stevie Ray Vaughan cites Albert as his main inspiration... who would dispute the influence SRV has had subsequently had? Albert lives on in the music for sure.

This is Albert King's last album and sadly it's long out of print and at that had limited distribution in the U.S. It is a great send-off and deserves a reissue. As I recall, some or all of it was produced by the Eagles' Joe Walsh and it's a gem of a title. Find it if you can...!

everyone who is arguing about who wrote red house, it WAS jimi, this recording was in 92'. Blues artist frequently 'covered' each others songs, not stealing but sharing, for all those people that say shit like 'he stole this song from him' and 'he stole this song from this guy' you obviously don't know shit about the blues. Blues was something for people that could relate to it, unlike music today where it shows you everything you cant have like money cars and so on.

Great to hear Albert show some respect to Jimi, he made some strange statements in the past that Jimi "couldn't play the blues'"?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, No idea what prompted that but maybe Albert had probably been listening to some idiot drone on about Jimi like he was the only guitarist who knew the blues and Albert was pissed at that? Who knows but it's clear Albert knew the strength of Jimi and knew that Jimi often made it clear how much he loved Alberts' playing/tone. Jimi played Born Under a Bad Sign many times in concert along with many other tunes Albert did.

All I was saying is Jimi got his bends from The Velvet Bulldozer himself. No need to lose your cool. Its obvious that he did it in tribute to Jimi but he played it exactly like Albert King, NOTHING like Jimi Hendrix. Over the years I along with millions of people have recognized Albert's style apart from everyone else's. So take a chill pill and enjoy the music.

Sad this LP is out of print and hard to find. I may not be a big fan of mp3 downloads, but mp3 stores like iTunes and Amazon have albums that are out of print and wouldn't otherwise be availible. Hopefully they'll release Red house in mp3 format in the future. It seems the record companies are releasing albums in mp3 instead of replinshing out of print CDs. MP3 is the future of music if we like it or not.
