  • We Say...

    Stax did a superb job of fitting Albert King's jagged, fluid approach into their musical formula. Exhibit A is this powerhouse live session recorded at the Fillmore East. While he sounds a bit subdued and restricted covering "Watermelon Man," King gets ample space on the cuts "Blues Power" and "Blues At Sunrise" to execute the whirling note montages, intervals and careening lines that comprise the foundation vocabulary of the modern rock-blues movement. The disc also spotlights his consistently underrated singing.
