I'll Play the Blues for You

Released

Do you know Albert King? Do you like Cypress Hill or Wu-Tang Clan? Then you’ve nodded your brain to an Albert King sample. All too old? Then think about the guitar as a thing with a specific sound that marks its user. King is that guy, with a hand like a sword, and a guitar also like a sword. Sounds awkward! Except it’s perfect, aside from him thinking his lady is cheating on him when she goes to the laundromat. That one is gross.
