{"product_id":"albert-king-new-orleans-heat-1","title":"Albert King - New Orleans Heat","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlbert King took his Flying V to the Crescent City for New Orleans Heat, a 1978 album that pairs his stinging blues guitar with the funk-soaked world of Allen Toussaint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the late 1970s, King's Stax years were behind him and the blues giant was looking for a fresh setting. Tomato Records found one by teaming him with Toussaint, the songwriter and producer whose touch had shaped decades of New Orleans R\u0026amp;B. The result marries King's huge, bending notes and laid-back vocal swagger to grooves that strut and shuffle with a distinctly Louisiana lilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGet Out of My Life, Woman, one of Toussaint's own compositions, gets a sly, slinky reading, while a fresh run at Born Under a Bad Sign gives King's signature song a new coat of paint. We All Wanna Boogie leans happily into the party, and I Get Evil revisits a favorite from his early catalogue with renewed fire. Throughout, King sounds relaxed and in command, trading his trademark licks with a band that clearly knows how to make a groove feel effortless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a lively, good-humored corner of his discography, and proof that the blues and New Orleans funk have always been close cousins. On vinyl, those warm grooves and razor-sharp licks sound right at home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67757780795682,"sku":"5060767444610","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Albert_King-New_Orleans_Heat_06f69bea-af72-4be3-8b18-e03fd490aea5.jpg?v=1794291597","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/albert-king-new-orleans-heat-1","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
