Great news for blues aficionados the world over! April 2 will mark the reissue day of Albert King's Stax Record debut of "Born Under A Bad Sign" Originally released in 1967, this was one of the most popular and influential blues albums in music history. Forty-Six years later, most blues artists will gladly tell you they cut their teeth on the standards of Albert King. The late Stevie Ray Vaughan was in awe of Albert's presence as he passed the torch to the Texas guitar slinger, recognizing the abilities of young Stevie. Albert made the album great with the help of Stax in house studio musicians;Booker T & The MG's. Personnel for the recording listed below. What a lineup!
Albert King – lead guitar and vocals
Steve Cropper – rhythm guitar
Booker T. Jones – organ, piano
Isaac Hayes – piano
Donald "Duck" Dunn – bass guitar
Al Jackson, Jr. – drums
Wayne Jackson – trumpet
Andrew Love – tenor saxophone
Joe Arnold - saxophone, flute
Besides being re-mastered, several unreleased bonus tracks and new liner notes will be included. I am looking forward with anticipation to April 2nd, as I know you will.
