AllMusic[1]

Albert is an album by the American blues musician Albert King, released by Tomato Records in 1976. The singles "Guitar Man" and "Ain't Nothing You Can Do" took 79nd and 95nd place, respectively, in the Billboard R&B Singles chart.[1]

Critical reception[edit]

In Allmusic, Thom Owens said "Gilded by strings and horns, keyboards and flutes, and driven by a propulsive disco beat, Albert is about as slick as Albert King ever got, but he manages to turn in a few strong performances on the album. On the whole, the songs aren't particularly distinctive, and the instrumental support is way too anonymous, but hardcore Albert fans may find a couple solos, a couple of phrases worth hearing beneath all the heavy-handed production and thumping beats."[1]
