One at a Time: "Born Under a Bad Sign" (1967) by Albert King

This is supposed to be a very influential album in blues history, but listening to it today doesn't seem like it would be as transcendentally beautiful as it was back then. King's voice sounds like he's asleep, and while his guitar is often scaling heights not previously found on this list, with an electricity and liveliness that can only come from deep inside the gut of a blues man, there isn't much of a distinction between songs.
