This is an amazing album. two of the greats, one on the way up and one an institution. Stevie plays in a more subdued way then on his solo albums and blends his style with one of the masters of the Blues. Every cut is unique and fantastic, Alberts smooth and laidback style mixed with Stevies driving and electric licks, make this album truly uniqe. This session was one of the highlights of Stevies life, and it shows in every note he plays. Albert is at his best blending his tunes with stevies, and makeing all of them new again. A once in a lifetime pairing of two masters.
One of the BEST blues CD's that's available. Both of these men are no longer with us, and the LIVE recording is PRICLESS! Albert King at his BEST both vocally and on the guitar! Stevie Ray just 28 years old and ripping on the "guit-fiddle"! Just a special CD. A MUST for any Stevie Ray fan or Blues lover. Albert King is classic and smooth. Interacting with one another thru the whole disc. And the session musicians are SPOT on with the bass, drums, and B3. All in all just one of the most enjoyable Blues discs that i NOW own! Get a copy and you will see what I mean.
I hadn’t known this even existed. Was watching a show about Stevie Ray on AXS, and alla sudden there’s Albert King, and they’re talking about a recording so I had to go find it...along with some other King stuff

One of the best of both! This is the capture of the moment! They are so nice playing together. It was a pleasure to have that moment captured for us to enjoy through generations. if you like blues, this is a really nice one to have.

If you like blues you will like this album. Since it is a session album, there are some short periods of talking but they illuminate the backstory between Stevie and Albert.
