Synopsis

Amazon.com

The least acknowledged of the Three Kings who ruled in the early '70s (B.B. and Albert rounding out the triumvirate), Freddy King nevertheless had a great sway on the blues that followed his death in 1976. His aggressive, stringing leads turned the heads of Eric Clapton and his blues-rock British peers, who, in turn, passed his legacy on to most of the bar-band jammers gnashing their way through "Sweet Home Chicago" to this very day. Live at the Electric Ballroom, 1974 is a collection of 10 songs (broken up here and there by brief interview segments) that includes the only two known acoustic recordings of King. "Dust My Broom" gets both the plugged and unplugged treatment from the Texan. --Steven Stolder

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Freddie King was a monster of the blues and this CD shows exactly why. His guitar playing is ferocious, explosive, incendiary, soulful, emotional, and beautiful all at the same time. Freddie does several of his best known tunes including Hide Away, Have You Ever Loved A Woman, Key To The Highway and Dust My Broom. These are just as great as Clapton's versions, though they sound a bit different. Buy this CD for Freddie's awesome singing and guitar-playing, but you'll also get some fascinating interviews with him and two acoustic performances. As good as Freddie sounds on an electric guitar, he sounds just as good on an acoustic. Highly recommended."

And you thought he was good in the studio!!!
