King of the Blues Guitar is a compilation album by American blues guitarist and singer Albert King, released by Atlantic Records in 1969. The album contains songs that Stax Records originally released on singles, including five that were also included on King's 1967 compilation, Born Under a Bad Sign.[1] It reached number 194 on the Billboard 200 album chart in 1969.[2]
When Atlantic re-released King of the Blues Guitar on CD format in 1989, it included an additional six tracks,[3] thus compiling all of King's Stax singles from 1966 to 1968, plus the 1969 Atlantic single "The Hunter", backed with "As the Years Go Passing By".[4]
