Fantastic three tunes there. The Albert King album by the same name is widely regarded as one the very best blues albums of all time. He recorded it with the Stax house band, BookerT and the MGs. The album was so good Clapton and Jimmy Page pinched Albert’s riffs and didn’t pay him squat. All of his angst over stealing riffs from poor black bluesmen made Clapton crazy, turned him into a heroin addict, and led him to steal his best friend’s wife. It made him feel better when Harrison said “f*** it, take her, she’s all yours.” Jimmy Page was never bothered by stealing other peoples shit, like Stairway to Heaven which he nicked from the great guitarist Randy California of Spirit.
