Description:

The release in 1967 of Albert Kingâ??s Born Under a Bad Sign marked a watershed in the history of the blues or, as reissue annotator Michael Point puts it, "the great divide of modern blues, the point at which the music was rescued from slipping into derivative obscurity." Few other blues albums have had such hugeâ??and lastingâ??impact. Kingâ??s scorching soul-blues sound tore it up on black radio, and progressive rock FM, which was rapidly exploding beyond the underground, embraced the album with a passion. These are the songs from which Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and countless other pickers were drawing inspirationâ??and borrowing licks. East St. Louis-based guitar crusher Kingâ??s inspired meeting with the Memphis crew built around keyboardist Booker T. Jones brought the blues into the soul era, igniting a flame that continues to burn brightly so many years later.Circuit and the rock arena. He would make more great Stax albums, but heâ??d never top this one." -
