Customer Reviews A must!! This CD is nothing less than a Blues guitar statement. I'll keep this review brief. One like few others! An absolute must for Blues fans, period! Five stars are not enough for this CD!. can't get enough of it I just came across this CD for real cheap, and boy was I glad I got it. Wow. I have listened to lots of blues players of different types, and the guitar of Albert King is amazing, especially on this disc. I have his In Session CD live with SRV, which was a really strong CD, but this particular CD presents a better sound of his guitar, in my opinion. It sounds sweeter, more well-rounded, powerful, diverse, and dead-on. I really love Albert King's work, and I always wish songs like "Blues Power" and "Blues at Sunrise" were much much longer because this type of slower blues has the sweetest licks. Get this CD. It radiates such warm, positive energy. BEST BLUES I've heard in MONTHS ! I just unwrapped this CD this afternoon, popped into the player and . . it's EXCELLENT! What an inspiration Mr. King must have been to Clapton et al. Each track on this one SMOKES BIG TIME ! The guitar is perfect, raw, loud and captivating. This is what I've been looking for since I expired all of Michael Bloomfield's stuff. If you love Bloomfield, you'll love this and vice versa. . .
