Released in 1984 by Fantasy Records, this studio album was recorded in Memphis. Albert King took on production, continuing his collaboration with the label that had begun years earlier.
The title references one of the album's best-known songs, 'Phone Booth'. The album blends traditional blues with soul and funk influences, maintaining King's characteristic style.
Although it did not reach major charts, 'I'm in a Phone Booth, Baby' is remembered by King's followers as a solid work from his Fantasy Records period, with high-quality vocal and guitar performances.
