“An intense period of wood shedding resulted Albert sharing a bill with Double Trouble, the late Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section. So taken with Albert’s fire and passion were bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton that they volunteered to play on and produce his debut recording.

No less a giant of the blues than B.B. King…dubbed Cummings ‘a great guitarist.‘”

“A year later Double Trouble joined Cummings again as he signed with Blind Pig Records to create (his release) True to Yourself.  This time they brought in legendary producer Jim Gaines to control the sessions.  Tours and shows with blues legends B.B. King, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy and others brought his music to an audience grateful for the opportunity to be rocked hard by a man possessed to play every song like his life depended on it.”
