Night Stomp is still the greatest. The quality is excellent. I own two copies of the vinyl version of this album and have played them for the past 40 years, waiting for the CD version so that I could have the music in a more transportable version. I was concerned about loss of quality in a CD version. You can still hear Albert's fingers on the strings.
Five stars are not enough for this CD. One like few others. I'll keep this review brief. This CD is nothing less than a Blues guitar statement. An absolute must for Blues fans, period.
Get this CD. It radiates such warm, positive energy. It sounds sweeter, more well-rounded, powerful, diverse, and dead-on. I have his In Session CD live with SRV, which was a really strong CD, but this particular CD presents a better sound of his guitar, in my opinion. I just came across this CD for real cheap, and boy was I glad I got it. Wow. I have listened to lots of blues players of different types, and the guitar of Albert King is amazing, especially on this disc. I really love Albert King's work, and I always wish songs like "Blues Power" and "Blues at Sunrise" were much much longer because this type of slower blues has the sweetest licks.
This is what I've been looking for since I expired all of Michael Bloomfield's stuff. If you love Bloomfield, you'll love this and vice versa. Each track on this one SMOKES BIG TIME. King must have been to Clapton et al. it's EXCELLENT. I just unwrapped this CD this afternoon, popped into the player and. What an inspiration Mr. The guitar is perfect, raw, loud and captivating.
He was the TRUE master. It's amazing how few paople know about this secret pearl of music. ALL songs were great, and the "leftovers" that were placed on the Wednesday night in San Francisco and Thursday night in San Francisco were just as good. As great as Live Wire / Blues Power is, it is very misleading to say that these were the best songs of the live SF shows. This CD is truly powerful guitar playing and great vocals. Albert is THE master. A must for ALL Blues and rock fans. All three CD's form the greatest collection of the sweetest guitar playing ever.
