FREDDY KING - ULTIMATE COLLECTION

FREDDY KING - ULTIMATE COLLECTION King, Freddie: Ultimate Collection There was no shortage of blues guitar royalty answering to the regal surname of King during the idiom’s postwar zenith. B.B. came first and still reigns as the king of the blues. Southpaw Albert bent notes meaner than any guitarist on the planet. And then there was Freddie. His massive physique built to wring every ounce of blue fire from the neck of a Gibson hollowbody or Les Paul, he blasted high-energy volleys at mesmerized rock fans as well as the blues faithful. At his early ’60s hitmaking peak, his explosive, meticulously constructed instrumentals even intrigued the California surf crowd. British guitar god Eric Clapton tirelessly hailed Freddie as one of his heroes, copping his licks shamelessly. When Freddie died at age 42 on December 28, 1976, we were prematurely deprived of a blues immortal whose thundering vocals rivaled the power of his incandescent guitar playing. Thankfully, he’d already amassed a vast recorded legacy, so folks who weren’t lucky enough to see him live can grasp precisely what made him so incredible.
