Albert Cummings started out his music career in a pretty intense way when Chris Layton, Tommy Shannon and Reese Wynans backed him up and produced his album, <em>From The Heart<\/em>. To some this may just seem like a lucky break, but after hearing Albert shred they may think differently. I collected a few videos featuring blues guitarist\/singer\/songwriter Albert Cummings that I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy. Apparently if your name is Albert you&#8217;re required to be a blues guitar player.<\/p>\n<p>I figured we would start out with an interview with Albert to get a little bit more insight about his music career and influences. It&#8217;s a long video, but there&#8217;s some cool stuff in it.

Most of the videos on YT were pretty rough crowd shots, but this gig at Club Helsinki Hudson turned out pretty well. Don&#8217;t mind everybody walking in front of the camera though.

He&#8217;s got a pretty slammin&#8217; tone and can definitely shred.
