The Good Stuff



There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it's successful; if it doesn't it has failed. --  Duke Ellington

This purpose of this thread is to provide a place to post outstanding examples of the Good Music.

Albert King

BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN

Stax / Concord Music Group   1966-67 / 2013

Notes : Thanks to Born Under A Bad Sign, Albert King became a full-fledged blues luminary, masterfully bridging the gap between the chitlin' circuit and the rock arena.  He would make more great Stax albums, but he'd never top this one.           --Bill Dahl
