Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King (Cover)

I spent yesterday learning and recording my attempt at the Albert King Classic Born Under a Bad Sign. This is my take on the song. I said to myself yesterday, "It's time to get this song down".

I had no idea where to start but I found an amazing drum cover on YouTube from Jim Berry who let me use the video and drum track! The vocals are clearly the most challenging because I have never tried to record this before and Albert King's voice is simply amazing.

My favorite singer and blues guitarist is Albert King. I think I always related to him more because he's a left-handed guitarist. His voice, attack, and bends are second to none in my opinion. I really miss playing live so this is the next best thing.

Born Under a Bad Sign Lyrics:

Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, you know I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read, haven't learned how to write
My whole life has been one big fight
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I said, I wouldn't have no luck at all
That ain't no lie
You know if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no kind o' luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all
You know wine and women is all I crave
A big legged woman is gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I begin to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all...
