Ah good old Freddie! Have a couple of his albums mostly instrumental and one strange white cover job with a newspaper pic of the great man stuck on the cover. Must dig it out later.

Here's a song I love him doing. This I picked at random. Hope it's a decent version :)

Always loved Garland Jeffreys, this has a really 'smooth' blues sound, but I love it.

If the link doesn't work, just copy it and paste it into YouTube and it will work.

Last week it was BB King, this week it's Albert King, been listening to...

Live Wire/Blue Power
Born Under A Bad Sign
In Session (with Stevie Ray Vaughan)

I have to say Live Wire wins out...

Will probably listen to Otis Rush later on this week, I have...

Right Place, Wrong Time
Troubles Troubles
Cold Day in Hell
Tops Live
Ain't Enough Coming In

Not gone on BB with the exception of his County Jail live one. Albert is a favourite of mine. I have a lot of his albums. A lot. Have you got the live one with Rory? Also His Elvis tribute Lp?

Never checked out the Stevie collaboration. I hear, despite the truly awful sleeve, it's not too bad....

Otis is another good choice. Have only three of his, two of them on your list and one a best of with a fantastic rendition of 'All Your Love'.....

Anyway glad to hear you're finding the time to actually listen to your system. And I suppose the music's not bad either ;)

I'd like to think it is the other way round! I saw BB King live on two occasions and really enjoyed him!

I have a great LP by Brian Knight and Jon McLaughlin (no, not THE John McLoughlin) which I picked up years ago Good Time Down The Road, but I never managed to get anything else by either of them. Here's a great YouTube of Brian Knight with Peter Green, Charlie Watts and Ian Stewart...

Oh oh this is good! Terrific fat tone from Albert's guitar on the one brief listen I've had - Blues at Sunrise. Looking forward to hearing the rest....Thanks!
