Recorded in 1968 at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium, *Live Wire/Blues Power* is one of bluesman Albert King's most vibrant electric recordings.
Produced by Al Jackson Jr., the drummer for Booker T. & the MG's, and introduced by a superb cover of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man," this live album marked a turning point in the guitar hero's career, popularizing the blues among a new generation of listeners.
