Albert Nelson(April 25, 1923– December 21,
1992), known by his stage nameAlbert
King, was an American bluesguitarist and
singer whose playing influenced many other blues guitarists. He is perhaps best
known for the popular and influential álbum Born Under a
Bad Sign(1967) and its title track.
He, B.B. King, and Freddie King, all
unrelated, were known as the "Kings of the Blues." The left-handed
King was known for his "deep, dramatic sound that was widely imitated by
both blues and rock guitarists."
He was once nicknamed "The Velvet
Bulldozer" because of his smooth singing and large size–he stood taller
than average, with sources reporting 6 ft 4 in (1.93m) or 6 ft 7 in (2.01m),
and weighed 250lb (110kg)–and also because he drove a bulldozer in one of his
day jobs early in his career.
King was inducted into the Blues Hall of Famein 1983. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Famein 2013. In 2011, he was ranked
number 13 on Rolling Stone's 100
Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
I'll Play the Blues for You is the seventh
studio album by Albert Kingreleased
in 1972.
In 2017, the single version of the title
track was inducted in to the Blues Hall of Fame.
If you're down and
out and you feel real hurt
Come on over to the place where I live
And all your loneliness I'll try to soothe
I'll play the blues for you
Don't be afraid come
on in
You might run across some of your old friends
All your loneliness I gotta soothe
I'll play the blues for you
I got no big name and
I ain't no big star
I play the blues for you on my guitar
All your loneliness I'll try to soothe
I 'll play the blues for you.
MARY,
DID YOU KNOW?

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know
that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that
your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You kiss the face of God
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see,
the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Mary, did you know
that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great, I Am
Mary, did you know?
(Mary, did you know?)
Mary, did you know?

GENRE: INDIE
YEAR: 2007
José Gabriel González(born 31 July 1978) is a
Swedish indie folksinger-songwriter
and guitarist from Gothenburg. González
is also a member of the band Junip, along
with Tobias Winterkorn.
In Our Nature is the second studio album by
Swedish singer-songwriter José González.
It was released on 24 September 2007 on Peacefrog Recordsin the UK and Imperial Recordings in Sweden. It was released on 25
September 2007 by Mute Recordsin the
United States. The album received generally positive reviews from critics: on Metacritic, it has
a score of 72 out of 100 based on 27 reviews, indicating "generally
favourable reviews".
The album's lyrics address the human
condition, or the nature that the title refers to. Though the sonic palette
features classical guitar and vocal melody, as in his debut Veneer, it is
occasionally expanded. Hand
claps, backing vocals and synthesizer are some notable additions.
In
Sweden, the first single was "Killing for Love", whereas in the rest
of Europe it was "Down the Line". Both
singles came with the same B-side, a cover of "Smalltown Boy" by
Bronski Beat. The second single released was
"Teardrop" (backed with the exclusive instrumental B-side "Four
Forks Ache"), and the third single was another split--"Killing for
Love" in the UK, and "Down the Line" in Sweden. Both singles
came with the same B-side, "Neon Lights".
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Night, nights of
matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath
You're stumbling into
all.
