There have been many compilations of Albert King’s classic Stax recordings over the years, including the wonderful double-disc set The Ultimate Collection, but Rhino’s The Very Best of Albert King is perhaps the best for curious listeners, since it offers 16 classics on one disc. There may be a few favorites missing, from “The Hunter” to “The Phone Booth,” but the disc does a wonderful job of summarizing the classic Stax years while adding some highlights from his latter-day recordings for Tomato. In the end, what matters is that the bare basics — “Let’s Have a Natural Ball,” “C.O.D.,” “Laundromat Blues,” “Oh Pretty Woman,” “Crosscut Saw,” “Born Under a Bad Sign,” “Personal Manager,” “Blues Power” — are all here, making this ideal for neophytes on a tight budget. (Of course, Born Under a Bad Sign remains an excellent introduction on its own terms, as well.)

There is a killer version of the song “Who Do You Love” that was done in a live performance in Canada in 1970 by The Doors and Albert King. (posted on youtube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs-DlNOkn44&mode=user&search= It is supposed to be available on two albums…Feel the Blues and Canadian Night which have the same performance. Canadian Night is suggested to be of better quality. Alas I have not been able to find a source to purchase/download this song or to purchase the CD. Has anyone an idea of WHERE I can find this???? Thanks, Spider, but this site just listed the informationabout the CD and linked back to Amazon, which does not have it. However I will take a look a rt Tagtuner and see if it would benefit me in organizing my music files. Thanks for the effort. Anyone else hav an idea?

This tentrack budget set from Warner’s Flashback label includes the original versions of bluesman Albert King’s biggest hits, like “Crosscut Saw,”Laundromat Blues” and of course “Born Under a Bad Sign.” The selection is decent, but some fans may question the deletion of King signature songs “Blues Power” and “I’ll Play the Blues for You, Pt. 1.” For a more thorough trip through Albert King’s catalog, pick up The Very Best of Albert King on Rhino.
