It has everything, gritty vocals, steel-picked guitar notes that will cut you in half, and a tight backing band. This album and "Texas Cannonball" are my fave Freddie King albums and the feel is similar on both, although this one has a slight edge and this could be because the choice of songs is stronger on this c.d..
"Woman Across The River' was covered recently by The Allman Bros(on Hitting The Note) they did a superb job also, but here is the original....Percy Mayfields song "Danger Zone" is handled exquisitely by Freddie and the blues shuffles "Yonder Wall" and "I'm Ready' just leave you breathless!
Whenever i remember seeing Freddie perform live, even today, the hairs on my head tend to stand on edge...he was a rivetting powerhouse of a man, standing 6 feet 6 inches tall. To me Freddie King WAS the meaning of Electric Blues! Personified!
His influence spread far and wide from Gilmore,Texas across the Atlantic to the turntables of Eric Clapton , Paul Kossoff, Mick Taylor & Peter Green.
