Pioneering electric bluesman Albert King not only influenced American guitarists like Robert Cray and Stevie Ray Vaughan, with whom he played in later years, but made an indelible mark in Britain. Cream-era Eric Clapton, in particular, was an early devotee before Albert ever set foot on UK soil, while Gary Moore, who unashamedly took his cues from Clapton, later shared a stage with King in his ‘Still Got The Blues’ period. Enjoy his earliest recordings as all his famous fans would have discovered them – on vinyl!
