1	In Session (1999) more music like this by Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan Recorded in December 1983, In Session captures an in-concert jam between Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan, the latter of whom had become the hot blues guitarist of the year thanks to his debut Texas Flood, as well as his work on David Bowie's hit Let's Dance. Vaughan may have been the new news, but King was not suffering, either. He had a world ... see all copies from $7.73! new only from $16.81!
2	Pure Blues (2001) more music like this by Various Artists The "pure" in the Pure series initially suggested the unadulterated, soothing dulcet tones of new age in the Pure Moods discs, but as the series took off, Universal Music realized they had a real marketable brand name here, so they decided to use it for different genres. The one thing that all the collections shared was that they were exceptional ... see all copies from $7.20! new only from $13.34!
3	King of the Blues Guitar (1969) more music like this by Albert King Atlantic's original vinyl edition of this was comprised of Albert's Stax singles -- a few from Born Under a Bad Sign, along with "Cold Feet," "I Love Lucy" (two of King's patented monologues), and the beautiful "You're Gonna Need Me." Great stuff. Even greater, though, is the CD reissue, which includes those singles (which didn't appear on any ... see all copies from $9.20! new only from $9.20!
4	The Very Best of Albert King (1999) more music like this by Albert King There have been many compilations of Albert King's classic Stax recordings over the years, including the wonderful double-disc set The Ultimate Collection, but Rhino's The Very Best of Albert King is perhaps the best for curious listeners, since it offers 16 classics on one disc. There may be a few favorites missing, from "The Hunter" to "The ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $9.20!
5	Born Under a Bad Sign [Stax] (1967) more music like this by Albert King Albert King recorded a lot in the early '60s, including some classic sides, but they never quite hit the mark. They never gained a large audience, nor did they really capture the ferocity of his single-string leads. Then he signed with Stax in 1966 and recorded a number of sessions with the house band, Booker T. & the MG's, and everything just ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $9.61!
6	The Complete Stax-Volt Singles 1959-1968 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists At nine discs and 244 tracks, The Complete Stax-Volt Singles: 1959-1968 is far too exhaustive for casual fans, but that's not who the set is designed for -- it's made for the collector. Featuring every A-side the label released during those nine years, as well as several B-sides, the set is a definitive portrait of gritty, deep Southern soul. Many ... see all copies from $86.13! new only from $86.13!
7	I Wanna Get Funky (1974) more music like this by Albert King Another very solid, early-'70s outing. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.84! new only from $10.29!
8	Wattstax: The Living Word (Concert Music from the Original Movie Soundtrack) (1972) more music like this by Various Artists Wattstax: The Living Word is a two-CD document of the all-day festival of Stax acts in Los Angeles in 1972 contains decent performances by the Staple Singers, Eddie Floyd, the Bar-Kays, Carla Thomas, Rufus Thomas, Albert King, the Soul Children and Isaac Hayes. It's not remarkably different from what you'll find on those artists' records, however, ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
9	Years Gone By (1969) more music like this by Albert King King cranked out this solid, if typical, album for the Stax label after the success of Born Under a Bad Sign. With Booker T. drummer Al Jackson producing, the set includes such staples as "You Threw Your Love on Me Too Strong," "Wrapped up in Love Again," and a powerful version of Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor." For fans of King's guitar work, the ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
10	Live Wire/Blues Power (1968) more music like this by Albert King Live Wire/Blues Power is one of Albert King's definitive albums. Recorded live at the Fillmore Auditorium in 1968, the guitarist is at the top of his form throughout the record -- his solos are intense and piercing. The band is fine, but ultimately it's King's show -- he makes Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" dirty and funky and wrings out all ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
11	Thursday Night in San Francisco: Recorded Live at the Fillmore Auditorium (1990) more music like this by Albert King Recorded live in San Francisco in 1968, here's Albert King pretty much at the top of his game, blasting out tons of great guitar and singing his heart to an appreciative crowd of young hippies. With a tight four-piece road band backing him, King fires up his Flying V and slams down hard on material like Freddie King's "San-Ho-Zay," "you Upset Me ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.35!
12 view cover	Chess Blues (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Chess Blues is a superlative four-CD box set featuring important tracks by all the main stars of the label (Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson), as well as much previously unreleased material. A well-done retrospective of Chicago blues in its heyday, as recorded by America's greatest blues label, Chess. Cub Koda, All ... see all copies from $54.90! new only from $54.90!
13 view cover	The Very Best of Albert King [Stax] (2007) more music like this by Albert King A left-handed, self-taught guitar player who played his instrument upside down and backwards, Albert King could wring out guitar leads that were as sharp as razor blades zinging along a telephone line, but he was also a well-rounded musician, having played drums in Chicago for Jimmy Reed and was a good enough singer to have been part of a gospel ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
14 view cover	Jammed Together (1988) more music like this by Steve Cropper/Pop Staples/Albert King While this is not nearly as essential as some other Stax wax, it has a loose, raffish appeal and never falls into the murk of a boring super-session chopsfest. These guys were simply havin' fun with some standard soul/R&B covers (e.g. "What'd I Say," "Baby What You Want Me To Do") and some wide-open originals, kickin' back with some serious riffin ... see all copies from $7.73! new only from $7.73!
15 view cover	Blues at Sunset (1973) more music like this by Albert King see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
16 view cover	The Blues Don't Change (1992) more music like this by Albert King Previously titled The Pinch when it was issued on LP in 1977, this material was actually recorded in 1973 and 1974. These are some of King's most soul-oriented sessions, with contributions from the Memphis Horns and a couple of the MG's. Blues-oriented fans may find this one of his lesser efforts, putting less emphasis on King's guitar work than ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.35!
17 view cover	I'm in a Phone Booth, Baby (1984) more music like this by Albert King King's most recent studio album shows he is still tough. Bill Dahl, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
18 view cover	The Lost Session (1971) more music like this by Albert King see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
19 view cover	Hard Bargain (1996) more music like this by Albert King A collection of B-sides, alternate takes, and previously unissued outtakes from King's Stax prime (1966-1972), some instrumental. It's not as good as King's best Stax material, but it's not far behind, often benefiting from house players like Booker T. & the MGs, Isaac Hayes, and the Bar-Kays. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.38!
20 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 9: Postmodern Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Blues Masters, Vol. 9: Postmodern Blues is a wonderful compendium of artists and styles illustrating the coming of blues into the mainstream. This volume features representative tracks by B.B. King, Albert Collins, Albert King, George Thorogood, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter, and the Fabulous Thunderbirds. The modern sound at its best, and ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
21 view cover	Blues Masters, Vol. 8: Mississippi Delta Blues (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The title for this volume is a bit of a misnomer. While there is easily half a compilation's worth of authentic acoustic material here (including classics by Tommy Johnson, Charley Patton, Willie Brown, and Robert Johnson), the inclusion of tracks by B.B. and Albert King and recorded in Chicago sides by Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James and Robert ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $8.16!
22 view cover	Blues at Sunrise: Live at Montreux (1988) more music like this by Albert King Recorded at Albert King's appearance at the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival, Blues at Sunrise: Live at Montreux is a typically engaging live record from the guitarist. King is in good form and the set list is a little unpredictable, featuring standards like "Blues at Sunrise" and "I'll Play the Blues for You" as well as lesser-known items like "Little ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $10.80!
23 view cover	Stax Profiles (2006) more music like this by Albert King As part of the Stax Profiles series, blues guitarist Albert King is spotlighted with material recorded in the late '60s and early '70s for the Memphis-based label. Since this midline compilation only contains 11 cuts, it's easy to dwell on what was left off. For instance, where is "Laundromat Blues," "Cross Cut Saw," "The Hunter," "Blues Power," ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
24 view cover	Born Under a Bad Sign & Other Hits [Rhino Flashback] (2003) more music like this by Albert King This ten-track budget set from Warner's Flashback label includes the original versions of bluesman Albert King's biggest hits, like "Crosscut Saw," "Laundromat Blues," and of course "Born Under a Bad Sign." The selection is decent, but some fans may question the deletion of King signature songs "Blues Power" and "I'll Play the Blues for You, Pt. 1 ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $4.88!
25 view cover	The Best Blues Album in the World Ever (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Hardly. What is on this two-disc set is a real hodgepodge of new and old tracks by a variety of artists ranging from soul shouters and blues-rockers to the true originators. Disc one gets off to a sluggish start with tracks from Johnny Winter, the Boneshakers, Colin James, Larry McCray, the Kinsey Report, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, and Terry ... see all copies from $20.63! new only from $20.63!
