KING,FREDDIE - IS A BLUES MASTER Vinyl LP

Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Born in 1934, Freddie King was nicknamed "The Texas Cannonball," and his powerful guitar playing could certainly knock you flat. In the late 1960s, a fan and fellow musical king - King Curtis - brought Freddie into the Atlantic Records for a pair of fine albums. Freddie King Is A Blues Master is the first of these, and demonstrated that the performer's blues mastery extended to singing as well as string bending.

The dozen tracks delve into deep soul on a mix of strong originals ("Play It Cool") and well-chosen covers (Curtis Lewis' "Today I Sing The Blues"). With sax accompaniment from Curtis and piano work by James Booker complementing the axeman's explosive solos, Freddie King is a Blues Master shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at the top of his game.
