Blues at Sunset is a Blues album by Albert King, recorded live at Wattstax (August 20, 1972) and at the Montreux Jazz Festival (July 1, 1973), and released in 1973. Additional material recorded at the 1973 Montreux festival would be released in his later albums Montreux Festival and Blues At Sunrise.

Well Albert Nelson King stands as one of the most innovative Blues players ever. He was great at Talking Blues (hear him at the beginning of this CD!) and took the Blues Bend to new levels. This set recorded at the famous Wattstax Concert features extended sets from two of his previously released concerts: Wattstax (a 2-CD set only sporadically available) and at Montreaux, at which "Stormy Monday" had been previously released on a now out of print Stax LP with Little Milton and Chico Hamilton.

This CD is a great introduction to King's live style and the differences in his tone and dynamics. I personally love his Wattstax set the best. He never sounded like this before. He has an unknown backing band which I curiously think includes Micheal Toles and Willie "Too Tall" Hall (who played in the Blue Brothers Band) from his last period at Stax Records. He has no horns but still has a fat sound.

The set is great with "Matchbox" showcasing his great Talking Blues abilities "I'm here to hold up the Blues end!". The highlight of this for me is the old King Reords tune "Got to Be Some Changes Made". This is worth the price of the whole CD. It is perhaps the best live track Albert ever did! This blows away even Hendrix on "Red House". The other great track here is "Angel Of Mercy" which features the whole tune (it was editied in the original Wattstax release!). Most people wouldn't realize that this is the only time a Blues artist played at a stadium (L.A. Col.), well, B.B. played in Zaire at the Ali-Foreman fight!! This was in the US. King also once played with the Memphis Symphony too!

The second part of this CD contains the REST of the Montreaux set released as "Blues At Sunrise". It also has the whole version of Stormy Monday which was partly perviously released. A highlight of this set is his version of "Breaking Up Somebody's Home". Great playing! This was a great band with a horn section and Don Kinsey on the second guitar "that's my grandson!!!" He said that also of Little Jimmy King when I saw him in Australia in 1990.

This is a must have live blues CD. Get it with "Live Wire, Blues Power", "Blues At Sunrise" and "Albert Live". All of these performances have different tone, dynamics, phrasing and soul. A great overview of the adaptability and range of wonderful Blues Music.
