Welcome to "Muddy's Picks" on Graveyard Blues! Each month, Jerry's dog Muddy... will pick an album that he highly recommends. The record could be a classic, brand new or something in-between! We'll take a 'deep-dive' into the record, and play a track from it, every week during that month!

Suggest an album for Muddy to consider? Send an email to: muddyspick@graveyardblues.com



Muddy's Pick for may (2022) is: albert king - "i'll Play the blues for you"

"I'll Play the Blues for You" is the seventh studio album by Albert King released in 1972.

Start to finish, King’s finest album on Stax (and arguably finest, period) is "I’ll Play the Blues for You." It was released as King was still basking in the success he’d built from Born Under a Bad Sign, and it solidified his standing as one of the most unique of blues talents — one of the three “Kings of the blues”, along with B.B and Freddie.
