Born Under A Bad Sign dates back to a time when albums were collections of singles, and when singles, designed for radio and jukebox play, seldom ran for much more than three and a half minutes--often quite a bit less. The advantage of that limitation was that artists had to make an impact fast and firmly. In blues, the tendency of songs to go on a bit had to be curbed to produce performances with punch and point. There are few better examples of this process in action than King's 1960s tracks like "Crosscut Saw", "Born Under A Bad Sign" and his story of hot whispers during the hot wash cycle, "Laundromat Blues". With his thick voice and no-nonsense guitar style, King brought absolute blues credibility to the well-made commercial single, and even tracks that were recorded purely for the album, like the aching slow blues "As The Years Go Passing By", became classics. Reissued with the original funky cover art and 24-bit remastered, Born Under A Bad Sign is one of the foundation stones of a blues collection. --Tony Russell
