From Years Gone By (1969). A slow, smoldering Stax blues with bent single-note lines over a patient groove. Albert King played a Gibson Flying V he called Lucy, and Wikipedia and JustinGuitar say he later favored solid-state Acoustic amps and a Roland Jazz Chorus; the setup for this recording isn't documented, so a Flying V stands in with a Fender '65 Super Reverb Reissue. Set the amp on the edge of breakup and use the neck pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
