Customer Reviews Totaly Different look at Albert Gone is the pollished aspect of his sound, and in it's place is a much rawer and just plain funkier sound that makes this cd my favorite. This is one of Albert Kings most unusual realeases. Like most of the great bluesman, his guitar remains (and always would) the same. If you are tired of Alberts sound being to polished, than this is the perfect antidote. Probably his best songs are his version of the Stones "Honky Tonk Woman", his "Bay Area Blues" and the soul tune "Like a Road Leading Home". One of Albert's very best! I bought this album when it was first released and it remains one of my favorites! Albert at his best! The best word I can use to describe it is even! As well balanced an album as Albert ever put out! You can't go wrong with this one!. sweatpea from fla/ny/ca His usual outstanding guitar licks, and muscular vocals. Robert was right! A classic blues cd/classic Albert. But there's more. If there has been a flaw in King's body of work, it may be that some of the cuts on occasion "run together". This release has extra energy, a delicious flow, and each selection stands on it's own merits as Albert runs the gamut of emotions. Evocative, sweet, powerful, and. . . catchy? From first to last a buffet of very tasty blues. (Remember when you used to have a limited budget and you scoped out the albums where every/almost every tune was a fave? Bingo!. .
