| Professional Review: |
| Freddie King is a legend for some very good reasons. First, his clean single-string solos virtually define the modern Texas blues sound (although King himself honed his chops in Chicago). His playing was electric and country, skillful yet simple. Second, he had an uncanny knack for melodic invention. You can listen to a Freddie King solo once and whistle it the rest of the day. Last but not least, he was a remarkably expressive singer, soaring to a falsetto even more powerful than that of B.B. King. All this brilliance is here in one tidy package. You'll get the impassioned soul of "Have You Ever Loved a Woman." You'll get rumbling classics like "I'm Tore Down" and "Going Down." And best of all, you'll take your baby steps toward arena blues stardom listening to instrumentals like "San-Ho-Zay," "The Stumble," and "In the Open"--the songs that made Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan bequeath their souls to the unholy guitar. But bear in mind, if all those guitar heroes were so influenced by Freddie King, why is it that they don't sound anywhere near as great as him? Find out for yourself. And remember, the highest pitched string is the one closest to the floor. --Ken Hohman |

Written on October 31, 1998 Summary: Classic King Classic King, classic blues. Much better than his work on Cottilion or Shelter (although those aren't bad, either). King's at the top of his form here, playing and singing like he was born to do both. A two-disc set would have been better, as this disc leaves out plenty of first rate material. Fans of his later material may be a little disapointed that his guitar seems sound like it was miked directly into the board--it's missing that beautiful humbucking crunch he was famous for. But I know you can live with it. BUY THIS DISK!!! Written on July 15, 1998 Summary: Some of the best electric blues ever. Great vocals and unbeleivably great natural guitar playing. This collection has some of his best instrumentals, of which Freddie King has no equals in blues music. Some of the tunes here have been covered by the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton and Popa Chubby, but they always seem a little better and more to the point when Freddie King plays them. If you want to hear beautiful electric blues guitar and a slew of inventive turnarounds then pick this one up. |
