Albert King
With his trademark Gibson Flying V guitar, Albert King rose from the 1930s
cotton plantations of Arkansas to become one of the finest electrified bluesmen
of his generation. Nicknamed the "Velvet Bulldozer", King made his name in 1950s
Chicago before scoring his first major hit Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong
in 1961 and moving to Memphis to sign with legendary blues label Stax in 1966.
Backed by Booker T. and the M.G.'s, he produced a string of small blues hits,
including As The Years Go Passing By, Cross Cut Saw and Laundromat Blues and
created his classic signature tune ...
