Our Take

Ah, Freddie King, the legendary blues guitarist who could make his guitar sing like no other. His albums "Getting Ready...", "Texas Cannonball", and "Woman Across The River" are a triple threat of soulful blues that will have you dancing, crying, and everything in between.

"Getting Ready..." is a masterclass in guitar playing, with King effortlessly weaving in and out of melodic riffs and blistering solos. Tracks like "Same Old Blues" and "The Stumble" showcase King at his finest, blending emotion and technique in a way that few can match.

"Texas Cannonball" is a powerhouse of an album, with King's signature gritty vocals and searing guitar work taking centre stage. From the groovy "Hide Away" to the explosive "Going Down", each track is a testament to King's unparalleled talent and passion for the blues.

"Woman Across The River" sees King at his most soulful, with tracks like the title song and "Big Legged Woman" oozing with emotion and groove. King's distinctive voice shines on this album, drawing you in with every note and lyric.

Overall, these three albums are a must-listen for any fan of the blues. Freddie King's music is timeless, and these albums are a testament to his legacy as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. So grab a glass of bourbon, sit back, and let Freddie King take you on a musical journey like no other.

His electrifying performances have left fans in a state of euphoria and critics scrambling for superlatives. King's signature style is a fusion of traditional blues with a modern twist that is as intoxicating as a Pimm's cocktail at Wimbledon. His guitar work is legendary, with each note dripping with emotion and swagger. It's like listening to a Shakespearean soliloquy, but with a Stratocaster instead of a quill. Offstage, King is a man of few words but his music speaks volumes. His records have been hailed as masterpieces by critics and fans alike, earning him a reputation as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. With a discography that reads like a greatest hits of the blues, King's influence can be heard in the music of artists spanning generations. So raise a pint to Freddie King, the Sultan of Slide, and let his music wash over you like a wave of pure sonic bliss. You won't regret it, we promise. Cheers!
