A few years ago my best friend gifted me a big red book. "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". I made a plan to listen to every single one of them and learn more about who made them and how. This podcast helps me do that, as I will run down the 500 Albums, that were selected by a panel of music journalists, critics and musicians who have shaped the popular music industry since the 1950s. Every week I will tell you about a new album, the artist and the story behind it. Are you in for the ride? Then give it a spin!

#491: Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign

In August 1967, American blues musician Albert King, released his second compilation album, Born Under a Bad Sign. King’s first Stax release combined his hard, unflashy guitar playing with the sleek sound of Booker T. and the MG’s. The hits on the record influenced Clapton and the Stones, and earned King a new rock & roll audience.

In this podcast we go through Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. As selected by a panel of music critics, journalists and musicians and published in 2003.
