Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign T Shirt
About the Product
Born Under a Bad Sign was the first album by Albert King for Stax Records and his second album overall. It is composed of singles released by King recorded between March 3, 1966 and June 9, 1967, with additional studio tracks. Providing accompaniment to Albert King, who sang and played lead guitar, were the Stax in-house recording session band, Booker T. and the MGs, featuring the Memphis Horns.
Albert King's guitar work on the album directly influenced legions of guitar players who studied its every subtlety and nuance and was profoundly influential, not just in blues, but in rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan have acknowledged King's influence; indeed, some of their guitar solos are close approximations to those found on Born Under a Bad Sign. Ironically for such an important record, it didn't chart.
