Albert King-Live At Montreux (1977)

Albert King is one of the greatest bluesmen in history, he was essential in the sixties and seventies, participating in all kinds of concerts and festivals, collaborating with groups like The Doors and with artists of the stature of the legendary Texan bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan or Gary Moore, providing a unique and peculiar style.
Albert King was left-handed and played his Gibson Flying-V guitar upside down like Jimi Hendrix, also with the strings, which had double merit, because it produced a distinctive and unmistakable sound and once it reached the ears of the public it became unforgettable .
In 1977 one of his best live shows "Live at Montreux" was published, beginning with "Watermelon Man", composed by Herbie Hancock, a theme that he used regularly as the beginning of his concerts, given his passion for jazz. It continues with others that have a certain funky air, continues to shed classics, such as a plethoric "Blues at Sunrise" or the excellent "Stormy Monday", most of which is long in duration and shows an undeniable virtuosity.
The climax comes when interpreting the well-known "As the years go passing by" Rory Gallagher, who is splendid in the first solo of the song, joins to finish this fabulous live with the wonderful "I´ll play the blues for you".
