Albert King: Born Under A Bad Sign (1x LP 180g)

It took more than four decades of patient hard work until a discriminating congregation could proclaim Albert King as one of the three kings of the electric blues, alongside B. B. King and Freddie King. Albert had a tough but highly motivated beginning, playing blues on a guitar he had made himself. Later he bought a really good instrument, then came a couple of promising songs, and a series of successful singles made under a contract with Stax Records in Memphis. Finally, late in life, King landed on the sunny side with "Born Under A Bad Sign". The album became one of the most influential recordings in the history of the blues. King’s music was appreciated by white people too, which smoothed his path out of small clubs and on to big live events. Right from the title song, he travels along familiar tracks in the blues world, occasionally making a detour to hectic, soulful realms ("Crosscut Saw") and letting himself be carried away by strident winds ("Kansas City"). Over and over again, the musicians surprise one with ever new sound colourings, as in the hum and buzz of "Oh, Pretty Woman", the brusque admonitory "Down Don’t Bother Me", or the swinging fiddling of "The Hunter". This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. More information under http://www.pure-analogue.com. All royalties and mechanical rights have been paid. Bis die anspruchsvolle Gemeinde neben B.B. King und Freddie King auch Albert King als einen der drei Kings des elektrischen Blues ausrufen konnte, bedurfte es mehr als vier Jahrzehnte geduldiger Handarbeit: steinige, aber hoch motivierte Anfänge, seinen Blues auf selbst gezimmerten Klampfen zu spielen, in den 50er Jahren eine dann wirklich gute Gitarre und ein paar verheißungsvolle Songs, eine Reihe erfolgreicher Singles mit vertraglicher Erdung bei Stax Records in Memphis und endlich landete King mit "Born Under A Bad Sign" auf der Sonnenseite seines fortgeschrittenen Lebens. Das Album avancierte zu einem der einflussreichsten Aufnahmen des Schallplattenblues. Diese Musik sprach auch das weiße Publikum an und ebnete King den Weg aus den kleinen Clubs zu den größeren Live-Events. Ab Titelsong fährt er auf vertrauten Kursen des Blues, von denen er individuelle Abstecher in hektische, soulige Gefilde ("Crosscut Saw") unternimmt und sich von vollklingenden Bläsersätze tragen lässt ("Kansas City"). Immer wieder überraschen die Akteure mit neuen Klangfarben wie im summenden, brummenden "Oh, Pretty Woman", dem kratzbürstig warnenden "Down Don’t Bother Me" oder dem schwungvoll geigenden "The Hunter". Diese Speakers Corner Produktion wurde unter Verwendung von analogem Masterband und Mastering 100% rein analog gefertigt. Mehr Informationen unter http://www.pure-analogue.com. Alle Lizenzen und GEMA-Beiträge wurden abgeführt.
