Praise for Albert Cummings:
“[The Long Way (2000) is a] barrage of guitar pyrotechnics that calls to mind a grand mix of the styles of past masters like Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix.” – Bluesprint Magazine
“[On True To Yourself (2004)] he attacks his axe with unbridled ferocity and deep soulfulness…his depth and expression are matched only by his terrifying technique and tone.” – Guitar One
“This recording [Working Man (2006)] is the calling card of a blues star who has arrived. Cummings’ guitar work is sizzling. This is one of the top blues albums of 2006.” – Billboard
“Though Albert always walks a fine line between rock and blues, he demonstrates effortlessly [on the live recording, Feel So Good (2008)] that the blues makes everybody feel great.” – Bostonblues.com
“The blues is best served up live, with an enthusiastic audience and a killin’ band, and that’s exactly what guitarist Albert Cummings does on Feel So Good. Cummings effortlessly shifts from chimney subdued stylings to raucous roadhouse raunch to soaring yet stinging lead lines, driving his audience to frenzy in all the right places.” – Guitar Edge Magazine
“[Feel So Good is] one of the best live albums recorded in a long time.” – Music Connection
“Cummings’ first live album [Feel So Good] provides the perfect showcase for the fiery guitarist’s axe-handling skills and enormous onstage charisma.” – Blurt
“All the tracks on [No Regrets (2012)] pop with Cummings’ emotive style not just in terms of what he’s producing, slamming and bending his Strat’s six strings, but also in terms of where he pushes his simple yet soulful voice…That Stevie Ray tonality and combustion is not hard to hear in Cummings’ playing, but make no mistake—he’s not a Vaughan clone. Stylistically, compositionally, lyrically, and vocally he is very much a distinct entity.” – The Phantom Tollbooth
“[On Someone Like You (2017)] Albert gets into Robben Ford territory soloing effortlessly over the rhythm changes…these forays into jazz-blues are a real treat and leave the listener longing for more.” – Blues Rock Review
