about

Albert’s Crosscut Groove - the arrangement and first chorus are clearly patterned after Albert King’s recording of “Crosscut Saw” with Booker T and the MG’s, but everything after that is largely taken from his playing on the live Wednesday Night in San Francisco album, which is the first album that made me want to be a BLUES guitar player, as opposed to a rock player with blues influences. Albert’s playing is sacred ground for me, in a weird way - I’ve never heard anyone actually play like Albert King, even though he’s the biggest influence on so many great players. There are just layers of nuance and surprise in Albert’s playing that don’t translate when anyone else tries them. This is as close as I get, and I’m glad I don’t have to make a career out of playing just like Albert King, because I’d never be close enough to make myself happy.
