In the mid-1970s, at a time when R&B-oriented radio stations had all but banished blues records from their playlists, Albert King continued to penetrate the airways with his up-to-date blues sound, and this album is no exception. The wonderfully funky “That’s What the Blues Are All About” reached No. 15 on Billboard’s Hot Soul Singles chart, becoming King’s biggest hit of the decade.
