Customer Reviews
back in my collection for good! - By: Mr. C. Todd, 27 Aug 2009 
I had this years ago & it was either lostin a house move or stolen (it was a party house), I bought it again recently & forgot just how good it is & for very little dough too, holds up really well against any of big Freddy's other albums even classics like "Freddy King Sings" or "My Feeling For The Blues". I'm really glad that the live tracks are such good quality too since Freddie is an artist who has been a serial victim of record labels putting out shoddy quality live recordings that don't match up to Freddie's brilliant performances here. Tasty.
3rd King - By: BlackByNature, 07 Mar 2009 
Why is Freddie the third of the kings? BB & Albert are better known but why? This a great CD of a talent who should be much better known than some of his contemporaries. At under £4 this CD is worth any blues-fan's money, buy it & listen to some fabulous funky blues by a real master.
Freddie King A Real Bluesman - By: , 11 Jul 2005 Freddie King is very rocky with a Texas style bluesman & this album really displays it. You can clearly see where guitarists such as Eric Clapton & Johnny Winter got some of their style from. This album is a great representation of his work with some great songs. For me as a young guitarist I would rate this as first class to any of the other blues influences & modern bands I have heard. Its an awesome album definately worth getting.
Blues at its finest - By: S C Moir, 31 Oct 2002 This album is a "must-have"in any blues collection. It is a wonderful selection of tracks which display King's immense talent for the blues guitar! We are also treated to mostly live tracks on this album, so one can hear the King live at work on stage, teaming up with such artists as Eric Clapton & George Terry. There is a good mix of slow & fast blues on this album -for example, we have "Further on up the road", a fast blues classic: King vs. Claptonin an improvisation showdown, followed by "Gambling Woman Blues", a slow thoughtful blues with wonderful contributions from George Terry (stunning slide guitar) & Clapton again. In this collection of tracks we are also exposed to King's funk influences, "Sugar Sweet", "Pulp Wood", "The woman across the river", "You can run but you can't hide" to name but a few. This album is definitely worth the buy! It is a constant member of my cd collection, & it shows all King's dimensions, from classic blues to funk, & has appealed to all lovers of blues I know.
