Hard to full appreciate when I follow so many guitarists that were inspired by him but I can hear it. The way he stays in an area and the bends, as he puts it he’s paying attention...feels the soul

Musical genius. This artist helped create one of the most legend player's in our time SRV

"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.

You like the blues then you gotta love Albert King with his magic Flying V..

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.

Close your eyes and let his music walk you down the street! Like a moonlit evening stroll right into the spice of life!
