blues power

Been listening to my one Albert King cd a lot lately. It’s probably been about five years since I pulled it out of the cd book. The last track is a 10-minute sermon of blues and screaming guitar called Blues Power. It’s freaking beautiful. And since it was recorded live, we get some commentary about what the Blues are. Even Al himself has the Blues:

Al: That’s right. I haven’t seen my main squeeze in ten long weeks today. You know I got the blues. Can you dig it?
Audience: YEAH
Al: Ha ha.

And then he tears it up on the guitar.
