Freddie King was a monster of the blues and this CD shows exactly why. His guitar playing is ferocious, explosive, incendiary, soulful, emotional, and beautiful all at the same time. Freddie does several of his best known tunes including Hide Away, Have You Ever Loved A Woman, Key To The Highway and Dust My Broom. These are just as great as Clapton's versions, though they sound a bit different. Buy this CD for Freddie's awesome singing and guitar-playing, but you'll also get some fascinating interviews with him and two acoustic performances. As good as Freddie sounds on an electric guitar, he sounds just as good on an acoustic. Highly recommended.

This is as good a blues performance as you will ever get. The original album cover had a photo closer to the time of the concert (1974). The recordings were actually made from some old reel-to-reel tapes a King associate had laying in his closet. We are presented with Freddy King playing and singing a powerful, intense electric blues set. "Big Legged Woman" highlights the set, and the acoustic cuts are special because they are the only recordings of King playing acoustic, not to mention he played great. If you collect live albums, this one is a must-have.
