The release in 1967 of Albert King's Born Under A Bad Sign marked a watershed in the history of the blues or, as reissue annotator Michael Point puts it, "the great divide of modern blues, the point at which the music was rescued from slipping into derivative obscurity." Few other blues albums have had such huge - and lasting - impact.  A true Stax classic, featuring backing by Booker T. & The MG's, Isaac Hayes, and The Memphis Horns.
