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 and George Terry. There is a good mix of slow and fast blues on this album -for example, we have "Further on up the road", a fast blues classic: King vs. Clapton in an improvisation showdown, followed by "Gambling Woman Blues", a slow thoughtful blues with wonderful contributions from George Terry (stunning slide guitar) and 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, and it shows all King's dimensions, from classic blues to funk, and has appealed to all lovers of blues I know.

Freddie King is very rocky with a Texas style bluesman and this album really displays it. You can clearly see where guitarists such as Eric Clapton and 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 and modern bands I have heard. Its an awesome album definately worth getting.

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 and listen to some fabulous funky blues by a real master.

Not Freddie's best
I love Freddie King, but this is not his best work. It's pretty plodding, derivative stuff compared with the great man at his best. Read more

Something missing.
Freddie King has been a major influence to many guitarists, Eric Clapton included. Indeed, as the short sleeve notes state, his original tunes Hideaway and The Stumble became the... Read more
