Mutual Admiration Society
It is clear that these 2 men liked each other and enjoyed trading solos. However,it is also much more of an Albert King showcase, with standout performances of Ask Me No Questions, Don't Lie To Me , and Stormy Monday. What I like most about it is that it sounds so much better (i.e. dynamic and modern) than most of the old Albert King albums. This album really captures the high energy and power of a remarkable singer and guitarist(Albert King), and you can hear the musical roots of where Steve Ray's sound came from. It was misleading to list 11 cuts on the album , since 4 are simply fragments of conversation between the 2 guitar heroes. However the songs are lenghty, for example, Blues At Sunrise runs over 15 minutes,and those conversations add to the overall feel of a live concert , even though it is a studio recording., The once in a lifetime combination of these 2 icons on the same album make this a real collector's item for blues fans
The two Masters
What can you say about a man that makes stevie ray vaughan appear as the apprentice. Not only that, but stevie plays in a different space to what you would normally hear. For fans of both albert king and SRV, there is something unique and wortwhile on this CD
One of the best CD's I have ever heard!!!
I purchased this CD for my Fiance, who love both Albert King and SRV. That was almost 2 months ago and its still all we can listen too! I even bought it for some friends and they love it even more!!! I highly reccomend this to anyone looking for some great tunes in traffic!
