Review by Cub Koda
Originally titled King Does the King's Thing, here's Albert King adding his own touch to a batch of Elvis Presley tunes. Because King's style is so irreducible, the concept actually works, as he fills this album with his traditional, high-voltage guitar work and strong vocals. That isn't surprising, since four of the nine tunes on here originally started as R&B hits covered by Presley, including an instrumental version of Smiley Lewis' "One Night." No matter what the original sources may be, though, this is a strong showing in King's catalog.

Reseña de Cub Koda
Originalmente titulado King Does the King's Thing, aquí está Albert King añadiendo su propio toque a un lote de temas de Elvis Presley. Debido a que el estilo de King es tan irreductible, el concepto realmente funciona, ya que llena este álbum con su tradicional trabajo de guitarra de alto voltaje y fuertes voces. Esto no es sorprendente, ya que cuatro de las nueve melodías que aparecen aquí comenzaron originalmente como éxitos de R&B cubiertos por Presley, incluyendo una versión instrumental de "One Night" de Smiley Lewis. Sin embargo, sean cuales sean las fuentes originales, este disco es una gran muestra del catálogo de King.
