Captured live at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco in 1968, Live Wire/Blues Power stands as one of Albert King's most celebrated recordings. With a commanding presence and his signature left-handed guitar style, King delivers a masterclass in the blues, blending originals with his own powerful interpretations of classics. Rolling Stone described it simply as "just the unadulterated pure and simple blues."
This reissue from Craft Recordings, part of the Bluesville Acoustic Sounds Series, brings new life to an album widely regarded as a blues essential. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP and housed in a tip-on jacket with a blue obi strip, this release has been praised for its rich, weighty sound that honors the depth of King's original performance. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering Albert King for the first time, this is a recording that belongs in any serious collection.
