Memphis' guitar stylist Albert King (born Albert Nelson) coined a strident propulsive phrasing language that emphasized tonal dynamics rather than melody, while, at the same time, fusing soul and blues in Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong (1961) and the stellar performances backed by Booker T. & the MG's: Laundromat Blues (1966), Crosscut Saw (1967), Born Under a Bad Sign (1967), Cold Feet (1967).
One of his best albums is the live Blues Power, recorded in 1968, that
includes a 10-minute version of Blues Power and the instrumental
Look Out.
His bandleader Eddie Fisher was a jazzier guitarist, based in
St Louis (Missouri), who recorded The Third Cup (1969), including his
signature instrumental as well as Oliver Lake's Two By Two (when Lake
was not famous yet),
The Next One Hundred Years (1970), which includes the 12-minute Beautiful Things,
and Hot Lunch (1973).

Albert King (vero nome Albert Nelson), virtuoso della chitarra nato a Memphis,
ha inventato un fraseggio propulsivo stridente, che enfatizza le dinamiche
tonali invece della melodia. Allo stesso tempo, egli ha fuso soul e blues in
Don't Throw Your Love on Me So Strong (1961) e in altre grandi
performance, con il supporto di Booker T. & the MG's: Laundromat
Blues (1966), Crosscut Saw (1967), Born Under a Bad Sign
(1967), Cold Feet (1967).
Uno dei suoi migliori album Š il live Blues Power, registrato nel 1968,
