5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for "Further on Down the Road", June 28, 2001
This review is from: 1934-1976 (Audio CD)
If the only song on this CD were "Further on Up the Road", it would still be worth twice the money. This song features King and E. Clapton in dueling guitar mode. The interplay of these two guitar masters, in a live format, is one of the most glorious guitar spectacles you will ever experience. Crank this one up, close your eyes, and sit back. The crowd goes crazy, and so will you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GUITAR MASTER!, February 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: 1934-1976 (Audio CD)
For those of you who love the blues (Texas and Chicago style), this CD and Freddie King is for you! Freddie King is one of the most influential guitarists of his time. Truly a musician's musician! King's technique on the guitar is amazing. However, it's not his playing that makes him complete. It's his voice! Freddie sings with so much power and feeling that it sends chills down your spine. If you like the sound of B.B.King's "Lucile", wait until you hear Freddie on his Gibson 335!

5.0 out of 5 stars King and Clapton Fly, July 13, 2008

This review is from: 1934-1976 (Audio CD)
I have this album as an LP and as a CD. For nearly thirty years I have held it close. It is one that comes to mind on long drives across the country where you just want to hear something that is effortless and can fly as travel music. It has George Fenton, Freddie King and Eric Clapton. If it was released today it would be a hit.Hide Away: The Best of Freddy King The Hideaway collection Cd is the best Freddie King CD. This is just the best live version of a blues-rock song ever recorded. I can't listen to it even today without thinking what a contribution Freddie could have made if he did not flame out. Every song is rock solid. This is one of those must own CD's.
