Rick, if you thought BB was good, and I saw him too, you should have caught Albert K. Your statements wouldn't have to be modified, just underscored. They were like twins in their style, yet different, as twins can be. Albert made those strings sing. Then there was Freddie King, but I don't have but one copy of his work. They were all related somehow.

Ah...the "Three Kings"! Freddie was/is by far my favorite, followed by Albert, then BB. Some of Albert's late 60's/early 70's live stuff is the epitome of his output imo. I've got quite a few cds from all three of these blues masters, and they are all quite unique and excellent in their own right. For those of you unfamiliar, Freddie died in (I think) '76, but he influenced quite a few of our 'guitar gods'...I have one of his cds with EC on it...
ps: They are not related...
