ALBERT KING: Red House
-
Artist:
This somewhat obscure (unreleased in the USA) disc is actually King's last studio album released while he was alive- and perhaps the last material he recorded. Although the production is a tad sloppy and the mastering cold, there's some good stuff here. Album starts off wrong with the heavy-handed and rockified "Stop". Things get better from there, such as the more Albert-suited mitempo "Bluesman", "When You Walk Out That Door" &"Our Love is Going To Win". "If You Got It" is a good shuffle and Albert revisits his crooning mode on James Taylor's "Don't Let me Be Lonely Tonight". Throughout the session Albert's voice is a bit hoarse and both he and his guitar were recorded with too much effect. Perhaps the most notable cut is his take on Jimi Hendrix's "Red House". This deserves a remastering and remixing process for a re-release. His last album was "Red House" released in 1991. The album featured Joe Walsh on guitar was pretty much a rock oriented effort. It featured a nice rendition of James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" as well as the title track, a cover of Jimi Hendrix composition.This man will forever have my respect...
