Description:
This CD edition unites three essential albums by blues legend Freddie King: "Getting Ready", "Texas Cannonball" and "Woman Across The River". Recorded in the early 1970s, these sessions capture King at the peak of his powers, fusing electric Texas blues with soul, rock and a touch of gospel. Expect searing guitar solos, a gritty, emotionally charged voice and arrangements that balance raw club energy with the fuller production aesthetic of the era. Together, the three albums trace a crucial phase in his career, from tough, driving shuffles to more expansive, crossover-friendly tracks that influenced generations of guitarists. The remastered sound (where applicable) and the convenient multi-album package make this CD an excellent choice both for long-time fans and for newcomers who want a concentrated overview of this period in King's work.
Freddie King, often called the "Texas Cannonball", is regarded as one of the great electric blues guitarists of the 20th century. His fiery picking style, powerful vibrato and commanding stage presence left a deep mark on blues-rock and inspired artists far beyond the genre's boundaries. Classic tracks like "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" and "The Stumble" became standards for countless musicians, and his blend of blues, soul and rock laid important groundwork for later guitar heroes. This collection underlines why King remains a reference point for anyone interested in expressive, high-energy blues guitar.
The CD is released by Beat Goes On Records, a label known for carefully curated reissues and two-for-one or multi-album sets from classic artists.
