“Everything about Albert King was big. 

He stood six feet four inches tall and weighed more than two hundred and fifty pounds. One fan who met the great blues guitarist and vocalist later recalled that “his hand was literally twice the size of mine.” 

He played a big guitar, a triangular Gibson Flying V shaped like a rocket ship. He named it “Lucy” and played upside-down and left-handed without reversing the order of the strings. And he could play it loud, especially onstage, where his searing, overdriven lead lines, streaked feedback like jet trails from a 747.”



Shaun’s reached deep into the Blues With A Feeling library this week to celebrate the birthday of the great Albert King, Featuring this hard to find classic live set Blues At Sunrise, recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1973,



Plus new releases from Joe Krown, Alabama Mike, Ray Beadle, Jon Cleary, Selwyn Birchwood, Taj Mahal, GA20, Cash Box Kings and Raphael Wressnig Igor Prado.
