Albert Cummings is the complete package. He’s not just the guitar player or the bluesman or the singer or the songwriter. Though he is a master of all of that, he is so much more. He is the complete package, with an approach to blues and rock that has been described as soulful and explosive. The Massachusetts native learned the necessary three chords on the guitar from his father but switched to playing banjo at 12 when he became a fan of bluegrass. In his late teens, he heard the early recordings of Stevie Ray Vaughan and when he saw Vaughan perform, he returned to the guitar, determined to master it.
