Reposted from @thelegendsofmusic Albert King & Stevie Ray Vaughan playing “Born Under A Bad Sign” Live

Along with his namesakes B.B. and Freddie, Albert King was a massive presence within the circles of guitar enthusiasts. He used to bend notes like no one else and he owned a style of playing that left iconic names like Jimi Hendrix dumbfounded. Albert forged a quite unique style and sound by playing ‘upside down’ - using a conventionally strung guitar left-handed - which gave him a particularly effective way of bending the thinnest strings. This, combined with some maverick tunings on his Gibson Flying V’s, gave him a set up like no other. His raw, electrifying tone (he played with his thumb, not a pick) contrasted with his smooth singing voice, quite different from his contemporaries. Born in 1923, King had some minor successes before his breakout hit ‘Don’t Throw Your Love On Me So Strong’ in 1961. However, his real legacy starts with his work for Stax records, where he was backed by Soul legends Booker T & The MGs, and recorded such classics as ‘Born Under A Bad Sign’ and ‘Crosscut Saw’, as released on the album compilation Born Under A Bad Sign in 1967. The punchy Stax sound lent King crossover success on the pop charts - he also experimented with a symphonic ballads album and even an Elvis covers record. However, it is as a bluesman that he will be remembered, as reinforced by his later touring and recording, which included In Session for Canadian TV in duet with Stevie Ray Vaughan in 1983 - the torch being passed from one master to the next. The album of the same name is worth checking out - however, the starting point to hear King’s playing is definitely Born Under A Bad Sign. Unique in every way, Albert King employed an altered tuning that is still open to speculation. MGs guitarist Steve Cropper examined his ax once and declared it was tuned (low to high) C B E F# B E, whereas Dan Erlewine checked it several years later and found it tuned to C F C F A D.  When he died of a heart attack on December 1,1992, he left a hole in the music world that has yet to be filled.⁣
