Killing Floor - Albert King - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"I should-a quit you, along time ago / I should-a quit you, baby, along time ago / I should-a quit you baby, an' went on to Mexico / If I had-a followed, my first mind If I had-a followed, my first mind / I would-a been gone, yeah, my second time," the late Albert King bellows on "Killing Floor," which uses the slaughterhouse metaphor to dissect the cut-throat nature of human entanglements. Held up as a blues standard and one of the landmarks of the Chicago electric blues, "Killing Floor" was originally written in 1964 by blues spellbinder Howlin' Wolf who recorded his version that August in Chicago for Chess Records. Blues Hall of Fame inductee Albert King – who was also posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 and is consistently named as one of the greatest guitarists to have ever lived – recorded his version of the song in 1969 and included it on his album Years Gone By.
