Working Man (Blind Pig), Albert's summer of 2006 blockbuster release, is the culmination to date of a guitar hero's career just taking off. A punchy, stomping cover of Merle Haggard's blue collar standard 'Working Man Blues' brings it all home for the master builder and musician. The swinging Texas blues of 'Please,' the instant barroom boogie classic 'Party Right Here,' the snaky slow drag 'Rumors' and the rousing rocker 'Feeling End' show variety well beyond the typical slow blues and shuffles of so much contemporary music. The deeply emotive ballad 'Last Dance' that closes the disc is so evocative that a Hollywood movie could be written around it.
Albert Cummings is a man of his times and the man for the times. As he has done with his innovative homes, he has taken tradition and built his own musical edifice that expresses his thoughts and dreams. It is a vision that alternately excites and soothes while also clearly providing a glimpse of his unlimited future. The best is yet to come.
