Father and son.... no question that SRV was heavily influenced by Albert King. I actually bought this cd a few years back and was not overly impressed. I think it has to do with two super stars trying to play together for one time that just doesn't rock my boat. Typically neither has the chance to really do his thing. In this case, I actually had the opportunity to watch the DVD which was released recently. It is a very good watch. Albert actually does a nice nod to SRV for having technically surpassed his own playing...actually playing the blues like a "real blues player' if you know what I mean.
