King of The Blues Guitar (Atlantic 8213) is a compilation album by blues guitarist and singer Albert King. It was released by Atlantic Records in 1969 and re-released in CD format in 1989. King of the Blues Guitar essentially combines the entire Stax Records album Born Under a Bad Sign, and six of King’s Stax singles.
Atlantic’s original vinyl edition of this was comprised of Albert’s Stax singles — a few from Born Under a Bad Sign, along with “Cold Feet,” “I Love Lucy” (two of King’s patented monologues), and the beautiful “You’re Gonna Need Me.” Great stuff. Even greater, though, is the CD reissue, which includes those singles (which didn’t appear on any other LPs) and all of Born Under a Bad Sign. Need I say more? –Dan Forte
