		Albert King is truly a "King of the Blues," although he doesn't hold that title (B.B. does).

		In the mid-'80s, Albert King announced his retirement, but it was short-lived -- Albert continued to regularly play concerts and festivals throughout America and Europe for the rest of the decade.

	Albert King w/Stevie Ray Vaughan - In Session - Stax/Fantasy Jazz - SACD
		Albert always took it to the edge, over the top, and back again, and, as the liner notes attest, he was a notoriously cranky dude, his personality not as friendly nor as accessible as B.B. 's, thus, perhaps, explaining the latters public acceptance and the former's lack of same.
		King's sound is a bit right of center and thinner than Vaughan's, who seems to be dead center stage, with a heftier sound.
		This was a mutual respect thing between the king of the blues and the young guitar-slinging soon-to-be king of the blues (and while King definitely holds his own, even in holding back, Stevie wipes the floor with him).

		Albert King's phrases were all statements from the very deepest of his heart, both vocally and on his guitar leads; and all this is perfectly noticeable on this album in spite of it all.
		Albert King was always overshadowed by BB King and thus never received the credit he deserved for the way he shaped how the electric guitar is played.
		Albert's comments as the song was starting off indicate that they have played the song together before and the smooth way they played off one another would seem to verify that.
