Lick of the Week
Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan team up on this tune, Born Under a Bad Sign, with Albert taking the solo that contains this lick. It's from their video In Session, which has them both playing beautifully.

Featured Video
Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup plays I'm So Glad You're Mine in what appears to be a small club back in 1972. Like many old country blues players he took up the electric guitar later in life, but played in the same style as when he played acoustic. I suppose you could call it electrified, country blues. Born in 1905, Crudup was a real connection to the early bluesmen.
