In 1991, The Complete Stax/Volt Singles 1959-1968 cataloged one of the most prolific runs in soul music history by collating 244 songs on a now-legendary and long-since out-of-print 9-CD set. 33 years later, Rhino kicked off the first-ever vinyl release of The Complete Stax/Volt Singles 1959-1968 by unveiling Volumes 1 and 2 on vinyl, much to the delight of collectors worldwide during 2024. Today, this robust series continues with the arrival of Volumes 3 and 4 on vinyl.

Craft Recordings is proud to announce a Deluxe Edition release of In Session, the legendary collaboration between blues icons Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan. This long sought-after live album will be available in its entirety for the first time ever on 3-LP, 2-CD and digital formats, including hi-res audio. Arriving October 18 and available for pre-order today, the set represents both a definitive moment in blues history and a real-time snapshot of two all-time guitar masters in reverence of each other on stage.

Craft Recordings and Bluesville Records proudly announce a pair of classic reissues from two of blues music’s most influential artists: Albert King’s career-defining 1968 concert album, Live Wire/Blues Power, and 1961’s poignant Last Night Blues from Lightnin’ Hopkins with Sonny Terry.

Any list of seminal 1960s electric blues albums is incomplete without Albert King’s Born Under a Bad Sign positioned near the top. The Indianola, Mississippi-born “King of the Blues Guitar,” who cut his professional teeth as a resident of the St. Louis suburb of Lovejoy, Ill., cemented his legacy with his Stax Records debut album.
