First of all Albert plays with a stripped down band- only 5 pieces. He has his oldest Icebreaker Johnny B. Gaden, who use once the bassist for the Staple Singers, with him and only one horn, a sax (Abe Locke)! Very unusual and like the original Blues Bands of the 1950s (see Buddy Guy on the Blues Masters Vol 2 (Rhino) and Howlin' Wolf in the "Devil Got My Woman"). So Albert has an interesting and different sound. His guitar player. Rob Noll has a great tone and does a bit of Albert King and Hendrix which none of his guitarists ever did and he plays a good slide as well. The drummer, Casey Jones played with Buddy Guy and Junior Wells and a lot of Chicago session work. He is also featured on the Grammy Award winning LP "Show Down" with Collins, Robert Cray and Johnny Copeland.
