Caldonia by Gary Moore, Albert King and Albert Collins

Caldonia by Gary Moore, Albert King and Albert Collins is more than just a performance. It is a meeting of masters, where each artist brings a distinct guitar style shaped by decades of playing.

How awesome a privilege it must have been for Gary to be on stage with these two powerful blues legends, both with the most unique styles of playing ever. Unbeatable. This live performance is one of the greatest performances that I’ve ever seen in my life. May their souls rest in peace, and their music lives forever!

Gary Moore, Albert King, and Albert Collins – Caldonia

Gary Moore’s sharp phrasing met the heavy, deliberate tone of Albert King and the stinging licks of Albert Collins. They fed off each other with ease, taking turns and locking into the rhythm without stepping over one another.

Albert King grounded the song with his unmistakable tone and slow-burning playing. Albert Collins added bite with his icy Telecaster tone. Gary Moore matched them with speed and focus, showing both control and feel.

The song, first made famous by Louis Jordan, became a canvas for the three of them. No excess. No crowd-pleasing tricks. Just three musicians pushing the blues forward with every note.

Caldonia by Gary Moore, Albert King and Albert Collins stands as one of the finest live blues collaborations ever recorded. It is a rare moment where skill, respect, and shared love for the blues came together on one stage.

Caldonia by Gary Moore, Albert King, and Albert Collins Lyrics:
Walk on my baby
She’s great (:)
She’s lonely linky ain’t have nothing to eat
She’s my baby
And I love her just the same
Crazy about this girl cause
Caledonia is her name

Caledonia Caledonia
What makes you big yet so hard
I love her, yea I love her just the same
Crazy about this woman crying time
Caledonia is her name

You know what?
(What’s that?)
You know my mama told me to
Deal that girl long you know that?
(Ah your mama definately knew some)
I ain’t lying boy, you see my mama didn’t
Understand the girl too much
And she didn’t like her, you see?
So I think I walk her down to the house
One more time and just trying to call out
See if she ask me

Caledonia Caledonia
What makes your big head so hard
I love her, yea I love her just the same
Crazy about this woman cause
Caledonia is her name

Know you know
(What’s that?)
My mother said leave that woman alone
Ah your mama (:)
No she said so
She would bet if you be around
You see my mama was good
For booing it down for the idea
So now I think I go back to the house
And just talk to her just one more time
That’s what I’m gonna do

Caledonia Caledonia
What makes your big head so hard
I love her, yea I love her just the same
Crazy about this woman there
Caledonia is her name

Caledonia Caledonia
What makes your big head so hard
I love her, yea I love her just the same
Crazy about this woman cause
Caledonia is her name
I love that girl
