Albert Cummings (Page 4 of 4)

Made 2 out of 4 on Sunday and Monday. 2 complete opposite venues, Sunday was a roadhouse type bar in Folsom just north of Sacramento @ 3 in the afternoon where everybody danced from the first note to the last. Monday was a sit down jazz club affair at Yoshi's in Jack London Square in Oakland. Albert smoked both venues and like always he made himself very accessible to everybody that wanted to chat him up. My friends and I begged him to come out west more frequently and he said would do his best.

We saw Albert at the Western Maryland Blues Festival this weekend. Felt kind of bad they had him on so early in the day, really thought he should have been the headliner for Friday. He always plays such an awesome set full of energy and fantastic guitar playing. Since he was so early, they hadn't worked out all the sound issues yet and his voice was pretty low in the mix. Got a little better as his set continued. There was a really nice moment during "Hoochie Coochie Man" where Albert gives a pick to a young boy and lets him strum his guitar. Encouraging the younger generation is what it's all about. Filmed 7 of his songs.

Saw Albert at the Sellersville Theatre on friday. Always a very long, frustrating drive to get to that place and as we're sitting there stuck in traffic I think to myself why are we doing this. Then we get to the theatre and Albert starts the show with a really slowed down version of "Your Sweet Love" and it's like, oh yeah, that's why we do it He put on a fantastic 2 hour show with a number of songs off his new album "Someone Like You". Really loved the new song "Little Bird". Excellent slow blues that sounded incredible. I thought the sound for the whole show was really good that night, Albert's vocals were the best I've ever heard. Just wished the theatre had someone who knew what they were doing for lighting. They always have the lights so incredibly dim. Makes the videos quite dark. Don't know why they don't turn them up a bit. A little white light would have made a world of difference. Filmed all but the encore. Battery ran out sooner than expected.
