Live Wire/Blues Power is one of Albert King's definitive albums. Recorded live at the Fillmore Auditorium in 1968, the guitarist is at the top of his form throughout the record - his solos are intense and piercing. The band is fine, but ultimately it's King's show - he makes Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" dirty and funky and wrings out all the emotion from "Blues at Sunrise.

Exclusive discount for Prime members. Sample this album Artist (Sample). This album is no exception, even thought I prefer the Wednesday and Thursday night album. His guitar playing is simply and to the point. To me is one of the greatest blues Guitar players and he seems to always falls behind, BB KIng and Muddy Waters, He sings but during his live performance, it the playing that really shine. His playing is deliberate, slow and to the point. If you looking for a master at his craft, check out "Night Stomp" and " Blues at Sunrise".

Albert King’s Blues at Sunrise on this LP opens this way. Sun rises in the east, lover, it set deeply in the west/I’ve been lookin’ for my lover and I haven’t found her yet. In other words, this is not the place to look for something shockingly new, inventive, surreal, etc. Here is just one man’s reworking of a classic format to make an intensely personal statement, invoking all the cliches without becoming for one second a cliche itself. But Blues at Sunrise is played absolutely straight; even in his guitar solo, a stone set-up for showboating, he uses no tricks or frills, not letting the electrified instrument play itself, and remains alone with the blues.
