Albert King - Red House

[labelmejay]

everyone who is arguing about who wrote red house, it WAS jimi, this recording was in 92'. Blues artist frequently 'covered' each others songs, not stealing but sharing, for all those people that say shit like 'he stole this song from him' and 'he stole this song from this guy' you obviously don't know shit about the blues. Blues was something for people that could relate to it, unlike music today where it shows you everything you cant have like money cars and so on.

Stevie ray vaughan,bb king and Albert king the best of blues

[wapudblues]

Sad this LP is out of print and hard to find. I may not be a big fan of mp3 downloads, but mp3 stores like iTunes and Amazon have albums that are out of print and wouldn't otherwise be availible. Hopefully they'll release Red house in mp3 format in the future. It seems the record companies are releasing albums in mp3 instead of replinshing out of print CDs. MP3 is the future of music if we like it or not.

better then jimi hendrix version.

[phill531]

well if hendrix wrote why then in 1966 I saw BB King perform it hendrix just did the best job of playing it

[mattstanfweld]

@phill531 its an original hendrix song. just look it up.

[nickc387]

@phill531 i take your word for it sir haha no way this is original hendrix, maybe some of the lyrics, but for the most part people just think hendrix wrote it cuz he played it the best. i looove albert tho, he influenced jimi so much

[greenmean1]

@phill531 Try telling the truth, BB could not have did this song in 1966, because Jimi Hendrix had not wrote it yet, and thats a fact JACK!

[diamondbackseye]

I wasn't aware King ever covered this. The people stating that Hendrix is the writer of this song are 100% correct.

[pmanning44]

It's funny, because it seems as though Red House is heavily based on King's own Laundromat Blues. A sort of meta-cover if you will.

[mysterybat35]

awesome playing by Albert but why is this the 2nd video I've heard from him where his guitar's pitch sounds too sharp compared to the organ and the bass?!!!

[wapudblues]

A lot of blues albums are out-of-print, especially small independent labels. Certainly Red House is one that fits that category.These record companies should reissue these hard-to-find cds, at least in mp3 format.

been about ahhhh 99 n 1/2 days!

[taildragger53]

It's a great track and i loved the CD , although it's hard to find now because it came out on Castle Communications (small UK label). The trouble is , they mixed Alberts guitar far too low on many tracks.

"It ain't how many notes you play. It's how you play them." -Albert King

[vincepetrovic]

A fitting tribute to Jimi, while still pure Albert King.

[taildragger53]

@vincepetrovic Absolutely-- Jimi Hendrix actually wrote this with Albert in mind. Albert was his favourite guitar player, being a lefthanded player.

It's great also to see Jimi play this at the Isle Of Wight Concert where he uses a 'Gibson Flying V' in tribute to Albert.

[superthunderbombhead]

@taildragger53 I thought I read a while back there was more to Jimi using the Flying Vee in later years. I think there was money problems and he was getting a deal from Gibson or was upset about not getting a deal from Fender..maybe someone here knows more about it..

[TheMahavishnuFury]

All right, we're goin' from the top on...SEVEN!!!

[garcivaldi]

Es una versión Magnífica, por no decir la mejor versión que e oído en mi vida de esta canción.

[TBeanIV]

hendrix wouldve been very pleased that one of his idols did a cover.

[mvarahadas]

@TBeanIV Hendrix covered this- Both Hendrix and SRV were influenced by King

[TBeanIV]

@mvarahadas hendrix didn't cover this he fucking wrote you idiot. this is recorded in the 90s.

[texblues85]

@TBeanIV Hey! relax man!!! This is about music we're talking about there's no need to be so nervous, you're gonna have a heart attack!!! The guy made a mistake! Jimi wrote it! GONGRATULATIONS!! YOU ARE THE MAN!!!

[9timesnine]

@TBeanIV No need to be such an asshole to the dude man. Chill. Peace. -Cody Lee Meece

[ice50cal]

@TBeanIV i swear most of the people that watch these videos know nothing about music

[ghie9384]

@ice50cal I Dun't Know Shyt, I''m just GLAD It GOT RECORDED !!!!

[zed0469]

@TBeanIV Hendrix didn't write Red House, he covered it not sure who wrote it, but it was by one of the Chicago guys in the 50's.

[mattstanfweld]

@zed0469 Hendrix did write it, it was about his old girlfriend, just look it up

[zed0469]

@mattstanfweld ... I was thinking about Killing Floor by Howling Wolf, you are absolutly right my friend.

[boxingin]

@mvarahadas You are totally wrong my man... The Great Jimi Hendrix wrote this awsome composition.

If memory serves, this was his last recording before he died in December of 1992 four months shy of his seventieth birthday.
