Blues guitar giant Freddie King became a star in the early 1960s with tunes like "Hideaway" on the King label (no relation), but this 1969 album marks his move to Atlantic, where he updated his sound just a little. The King Curtis-produced set employs heavyweight NYC session cats and adds a very slight tinge of contemporary rock tonality (the occasional wah-wah guitar and electric piano) and funk rhythm to King's classic blues sound, lending a fresh feeling to the likes of Willie Dixon's "I Don't Know" and Ray Charles's "What'd I Say."

Three Kings--B.B., Albert, and Freddie--ruled the electric blues guitar world of the 1960s. Freddie King was perhaps the rawest, most visceral player among them. His style earned him the eternal admiration of guitar legends Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, among many others.
