"Born Under a Bad Sign" is a blues album by Albert King, recorded between 1966 and 1967,and released in 1967 by Stax Records. This was the first album Albert King recorded on Stax, and the title song became a blues standard.

Eric Clapton closely imitated the solo of "Crosscut Saw" for Cream's song "Strange Brew" and the band covered the title song for their 1968 album "Wheels of Fire". Led Zeppelin incorporated elements of "The Hunter" into "How Many More Times" from their self-titled debut album and former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted often incorporated the title track into some of his live bass solos when he was in the band. The vocal melody from "As The Years Go Passing By" inspired Duane Allman's composition of the main riff from "Layla" from Derek and the Dominos' Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs
