1968 saw Albert King release a couple of successful singles on Stax Records - "Cold Feet" got to #20 on the R&B chart, and "(I Love) Lucy", a tribute to his guitar, got to #46. They weren't featured on the any studio albums except the 1969 compilation King Of The Blues Guitar (which was essentially the Born Under A Bad Sign album with a few songs removed to make way for the singles and some b-sides).
His second full studio album on Stax was Years Gone By, also released in 1969, and again recorded with backing from Booker T & The MGs, and produced by drummer Al Jackson Jr. Another collection of excellent electric blues with the clean production and tight, funky arrangements typical of the Stax studios.

The download link isn't working; I can't tell if it's a bad url, or simply that the zippyshare site is down
The next day, it works fine. Must have been a zippyglitch yesterday.
