    1. He's not one of the commonly named 3 Kings here, though. Those are Elvis, B.B. King, and Jerry "the King" Lawler ;)

  2. I enjoyed that. I also learned something reading your comment above. Happy winter solstice.

  3. I'm thinking Albert, Freddie and BB (to Tom's comment). Thanks for this post. Albert is one of my favorites. I was unaware until I heard Cream do Born Under a Bad Sign and traced it back to the original.

    1. Yes, but here in Memphis we have our own version of the 3 kings ;) Maybe we need 4 kings.

  5. That's a great video. I'm trying to recall if I ever heard him sing. Can't remember, but I like that style of blues.

  6. The Blues...has a total feel and sound of its own. I have not heard enough of it in my life. :)

    1. You'd think we'd have a radio station devoted to it here, but we don't. Spotify and Youtube, that's where I get my blues :)
