Suggestions to improve album art search results?

I have a bunch of new albums I am trying to add and am off to a really bad start when it comes to album art. So far I have tried adding music from several Albert King and Albert Collins albums. The problem is when I go under Properties > Artwork and select Lookup Image for either of these artists all I get is a bunch of pictures of friggin' Albert Einstein. Great guy, but from what I hear he wasn't the best blues guitarist.

For example, the search string is "Albert King"+"Blues At Sunset (Live)" and all I get is two dozen pictures of Albert Einstein. And if I take out Albert so the string is "King"+"Blues At Sunset (Live)" I get a bunch of pictures of the King of England. If I take out the title of the album and just search for "Albert King", I do get a bunch of random pictures of the correct artist but no matching album artwork.

Is there some way to better refine the search or another search method or possibly add-on that can be used? I really don't want to have to go out and manually find images for all of these albums.

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey are you using? I tried several Albert King albums and didn't get any Albert Einstein results on the latest 2024.2 beta build.

I'm sorry. I should know enough to include that. I am using the latest release build. 2024.1.0.3113 in portable mode, gold license.

If I can download it somewhere, I'm happy to try a quick test with beta.

EDIT; Found the beta.

Just wanted to say thanks and really appreciate the quick response. I've been busy tagging files and it's working like a charm. :D
