Albert King sits in a category few guitarists ever reach — someone whose phrasing became so fundamental that players like Jimi Hendrix and Mick Taylor absorbed it before they even knew where it came from. Recorded in 1978 and produced by the legendary Allen Toussaint, New Orleans Heat captures King in peak form, including a landmark update of "Born Under a Bad Sign," one of the most covered songs in blues history. A Blues Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, King's influence cuts across genre lines in a way very few artists can claim.
This 2024 Charly Records reissue marks the first time New Orleans Heat has appeared on UK vinyl in forty years — making it genuinely rare for collectors on either side of the Atlantic. Sourced from the original Tomato Recordings and manufactured in the EU, this pressing brings a long-unavailable album back into circulation with the fidelity the material deserves.
