1547 - Albert King Oh Pretty Woman 1967

Bluesman Albert King was one of the premier electric guitar stylists of the post-World War II period. By playing left-handed and holding his guitar upside-down (with the strings set for a right-handed player), and by concentrating on tone and intensity more than flash, King fashioned over his long career, a sound that was both distinctive and highly influential. He was a master of the single-string solo and could bend strings to produce a particularly tormented blues sound that set his style apart from his contemporaries. A number of prominent artists,from Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix to Mike Bloomfield and Stevie Ray Vaughan, borrowed heavily from King's guitar style.
"Born Under a Bad Sign" is the second studio album by Albert King . The album became "one of the most popular and influential blues albums of the late '60s"It includes the modern blues classic  "Oh Pretty Woman".
