This is a vinyl LP pressing of Freddie King Is a Blues Master by Freddie King, presented on Yellow Vinyl. Born in 1934, Freddie King was nicknamed “The Texas Cannonball” for his powerful guitar playing. In the late 1960s, a fan and fellow musical "King," King Curtis, brought Freddie into Atlantic Records for a pair of fine albums, with Freddie King Is A Blues Master being the first. The album demonstrated that the performer's blues mastery extended to singing as well as string bending. The dozen tracks delve into deep soul on a mix of strong originals ("Play It Cool") and well-chosen covers (Curtis Lewis' "Today I Sing The Blues"). With sax accompaniment from King Curtis and piano work by James Booker complementing the axeman's explosive solos, Freddie King Is a Blues Master shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at the top of his game. This album is available as a numbered limited edition of 750 copies.
