5.0 out of 5 stars Chainsaw Electric Blues., September 19, 2004
By 
P.J. Le Faucheur (Canada (ex- U.K. resident)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Woman Across the River (Audio CD)
This is one of my all time favorite Blues albums without a doubt. If i could, i would give this one 10 stars also!!

It has everything, gritty vocals, steel-picked guitar notes that will cut you in half, and a tight backing band. This album and "Texas Cannonball" are my fave Freddie King albums and the feel is similar on both, although this one has a slight edge and this could be because the choice of songs is stronger on this c.d..

"Woman Across The River' was covered recently by The Allman Bros(on Hitting The Note) they did a superb job also, but here is the original....Percy Mayfields song "Danger Zone" is handled exquisitely by Freddie and the blues shuffles "Yonder Wall" and "I'm Ready' just leave you breathless!

Whenever i remember seeing Freddie perform live, even today, the hairs on my head tend to stand on edge...he was a rivetting powerhouse of a man, standing 6 feet 6 inches tall. To me Freddie King WAS the meaning of Electric Blues! Personified!

His influence spread far and wide from Gilmore,Texas across the Atlantic to the turntables of Eric Clapton , Paul Kossoff, Mick Taylor & Peter Green.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good one, February 18, 2009
This review is from: Woman Across the River (Audio CD)
If you like Freddie King, this cd is for you, if you're not very familiar with Freddie and you want to start, this cd is a must, his version of "just a little bit" is second to none, there is also a good version of "I'm ready"

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Freddie King Album, July 15, 2008
By 
D. B Pepper "neonx83" (Plainview, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Woman Across the River (Audio CD)
This is a fantastic Freddie King album, with not a single dull track on the disc. "Look On Yonder Wall" and the often-covered "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man" are great, despite the latter being done by everyone and their grandmother. I highly recommend picking up this disc, despite the expensive price. Perhaps it can be downloaded or a used copy can be purchased. This is essential electric Blues listening.
