Albert King

Studio techniques from the late eighties provide these songs with a sharp, funky polish that differs from his earlier Memphis soul work. While the arrangements feel slicker than his previous output, the weight of his playing remains central.

These tracks demonstrate the musician leaning into a tighter, more rhythmic feel. Even with these updated textures, the signature stinging bends of his guitar persist as the core of the record.
