King Curtis

Get Ready (Atco) 1970

 

Get Ready would be the last studio album for King Curtis before he was brutally murdered in 1972. For this recording, the gifted sax player assembled a cast of incredible talent and recorded a bag of tight covers and original instrumentals. “Teasin’,” the opening cut of the B-side, features a fuzzed-out Eric Clapton backed by Curtis delivering heaping amounts of brass.
