CD1
Tears From My Heart
In
2001, T. Albert recorded his first CD of original songs titled Tears
From My Heart. Karl Bremer, blues reviewer from Twin Cities Blues
News wrote, Harpman Curtis Blake was tapped for the session and
guest organist John Steffel wound up in the mix as well.
The
vocals lend a soulful edge to T. Albert Lloyd's sinewy leads, with steady,
in-the-pocket backing provided by the Greg Gaston-Keith Thunem rhythm section.
Curtis Blake added a heavier blues influence to the mix on T. Albert Lloyd's
first record, sharing the spotlight with Lloyd on shuffles
and straight-up rockers alike.
All
but one song on the first record are originals; a Sonny Boy Williamson
cover is the lone exception.
Lloyd's rig is simple with a precise,
piercing tone that sneaks up on you. Theres a hint of the old school
there with a new buzz added. He'd feel right at home in Indigenous.
Churning along in a nice groove, all of a sudden it grabs your ears
and turns your head with one of those Hey, now that was cool licks.

T. Albert Lloyd and the Kingpins, #2
In
2003, T. Albert Lloyd had penned another CD. Recording with the
same rhythm section from The “Tears From My Heart” sessions, the CD was recorded in two days.
Bremer says, By the second release, recorded in a St. Paul warehouse in
2003, T. Albert Lloyd's guitar has matured and he takes the front position
unassisted. This is a hard charging band with the throttle wide
open, but theres still plenty of blues in the tank. Lloyd
provides the ignition spark.
CD3
What Is Right
T.
Albert Lloyd's 3rd What Is Right CD gelled from the title cut story line.
The title cut, What Is Right, reflects a struggle of standing
up for family against your perceived religious values.
This
CD reflects T. Alberts aggressive guitar playing stylistically
from hard Texas blues to East Coast blues-soul-Funk. This is also the
first CD with T. Albert singing.
CD4

2006 the Fargo Blues Festival recorded thier LIVE Complation Disc
