Description
Born in 1934, Freddie King was nicknamed The Texas Cannonball, and his powerful guitar playing could certainly knock you flat. In the late 1960s, a fan and fellow musical king King Curtis brought Freddie into the Atlantic Records for a pair of fine albums. Freddie King Is A Blues Master is the first of these, and demonstrated that the performer’s blues mastery extended to singing as well as string bending. The dozen tracks delve into deep soul on a mix of strong originals (Play It Cool) and well-chosen covers (Curtis Lewis’ Today I Sing The Blues). With sax accompaniment from Curtis and piano work by James Booker complementing the axeman’s explosive solos, Freddie King is a Blues Master shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at the top of his game.
Freddie King is a Blues Master is available as a numbered limited edition of 750 copies on yellow vinyl.
