Albert King (1923-1992) was perhaps the only artist in the history of the blues whose music appealed equally to black and white audiences. That he could win over the predominantly African-American crowd at Wattstax in Los Angeles in 1972 and the European fans at Montreux, Switzerland the following year, all without altering his approach to the music, is a tribute to his greatness. Included in this set of live performances from both festivals are searing renditions of such Albert King classics as “I'll Play the Blues for You,” “Angel of Mercy,” and “Breaking Up Somebody's Home.”
