synopsis
The mercurial blues guitarist Albert King was one of the strongest and most distinctive musicians ever produced, and Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix were just two of the many players who cited him as a major influence. Albert King: Live in Sweden preserves a gig King taped for Swedish television in 1980. Songs include "The Sky Is Crying," "Born Under a Bad Sign," "Cadillac Assembly Line," "Cold Woman with a Warm Heart," and more.
