​Albert Cummings (from the album Believe available on Provogue Records)
Capping off an album packed with songs to inspire, Albert Cummings shares what works for him as he exits his latest album release, Believe, with the cut “Me and My Guitar”, reminding that he is never alone with his six-string within arms-length. The tracks sits alongside similar words of observation and opinion from Albert Cummings, the songman soundtracking his stories with the Blues overseeing ventures into Soul and Rock’n’Roll. Pointing fingers, Albert Cummings introduces “Queen of Mean” over a chugging boogie, wades into “Going My Way” on a confident Blues stride, warns “Do What Mama Says” with Southern Soul, and tries to warm a chilly Sunday afternoon with a round of memories in “Get Out of Here”.
 
The Sound of the South can be heard in the melodies of Believe, Albert Cummings taking his collections of tunes into FAME Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama to record with producer Jim Gaines (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sanatana) behind the board. Albert Cummings spoke of original intentions with Believe, recalling ‘this album was meant to mostly be recreations of some of my favorite classics but once I started working with Jim in FAME and the musicians he booked, the album took a whole new turn. I knew I had to take advantage of the unique sound that Muscle Shoals was bringing to the table’. The sound of Van Morrison gets Muscle Shoals mojo with a version of his cut “Crazy Love” on Believewhile Albert Cummings slow churns the rhythms of Willie Dixon’s “My Babe”. Stepping into “Call Me Crazy” armed with maniacal guitar riffs Albert Cummings breaks it down with the Blues wisdom found in the line ‘you think I was born yesterday but I stayed up late last night’ as Believe walks into the room with its tail held high for the Blues stroll of “Red Rooster”.
