Stringkiller's CD recommendations. Albert King.

Albert King - Now I can't find the album I want to turn you onto -if you haven't already worn it out- called 'Born under a bad sign' (on the Stax label - with Booker T and the MGs (with Mr Steve Cropper on Esquire/Telecaster guitar) So if you see one CD with these tracks from the mid sixties - get it -Born under a bad sign, Oh Pretty Woman, Crosscut saw, Laundromat blues, Personal manager, Kansas City, The Hunter ( ever hear vibrato master Paul Kossof of Free do this?) Otherwise there is an interesting bootleg with Stevie Ray Vaughan . Try Albert King - King Of The Blues Guitar (looks like it got the above tracks) or Live Wire Blues Power.

A slow blues by the Dr Pickup band May 99

Guitars used at this gig

The Guitar used on this number (and in the first three sets) a 1962
Telecaster Custom reissue featured in Stringkiller's Telecaster Shoot out.

Amplification was my Mesa Boogie Subway Blues
22 watts of heavenly joy and a Mesa Boogie V Twin pedal. That Alnico II neck pickup at the beginning with that fat tone (reverb is on 10) with the slow bends just does it for me Stringkiller ;-). The bends at the end of my solo are behind the nut (where the strings go over and into the tuners) bends. I like the way Raphael is fitting into the band, the song is in Ab and it has thrown more than one piano player a loop ;-)
The Bass guitar used throughout the concert is a Musicman Stringray Bass (Date unknown)
Bass guitar amplification was through the Soundboard (new, I did not notice the make but you'll notice the voice had no reverberation) and Philip always likes to have his small Fender Bass Amplifier around.
