Rosen.\u003cbr\u003eA 1991 collection of Albert King's recordings for Stax, Roadhouse Blues doesn't quite live up to its title, as it isn't down and dirty like the blues played at an out-of-the-way juke joint. Instead, this is slick, funky soul-blues that emphasizes the blues somewhat but certainly has a bit of the slick, keyboard-and-horn-fueled funkiness of the '70s. There are a couple of oddities here -- a version of \"Killing Floor\" that has a vocal, a live version of \"Match Box Blues\" from Wattstax -- but this is best thought of as a nice sampler of Albert King's somewhat unheard and definitely underrated early-'70s work. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46135270375711,"sku":"888072344068","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/96a990c7227dc1d379436d5123ea8c70.jpg?v=1777840426","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/roadhouse-blues","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
