I have that CD too....when you say ALBUM you give up your age LOL

It's Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughn "Sessions"

It was recorded for a tv show that used to air in Canada....

Anyways, while it is true that Stevie tried his best to emulate Albert, I can hear the differences between the two easily...One is playing creamy humbuckers, the other stinging single coils...and any time you hear a flurry of notes, you have to know that was SRV...Albert had the coolest licks, but allways stuck to the right hand lane of the musical freeway, if you know what I mean...
