Album Description
The Classic Live Album Is Back!

Along with B.B. and Albert, Freddie King was known as one of the "Three Kings of the Blues." And of the three, he’s generally credited with having the greatest impact on rock. Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan and countless others have acknowledged a great debt to his brand of guitar playing and have covered his songs.

As part of its continued restoration of classic Black Top blues albums, Shout! Factory is proud to make the award-winning Live At The Electric Ballroom, 1974 available to blues fans once again. First issued in 1996, the album contains a stellar concert—featuring such classics as "Hideaway," "Dust My Broom," and "Sweet Home Chicago"—recorded two years before his death, along with revealing taped interviews and King’s only known acoustic recordings. Along with his classic early singles, this essential album rounds out the portrait of a hugely talented and influential blues master.

Customer Reviews

The big man doing what he does best!!!!!
Great cd for your blues collection. Worth every penny.......

Freddie King is perhaps the most progressive and least known of the three famous "Kings of Blues", Albert and BB King being the other two.

Cd has two in-studio acoustic performances (only known Freddie King acoustic recordings)and a great live 1974 show.

Classic King
If you are reading this then you are probably a Freddie King fan who is familiar with his material. This allows you to hear some classic live stuff. Can't go wrong.

a must have
freddie king, legendary blues guitarist, lets it rip in this recording. the introduction/interview with freddie is great, but what makes them more than collectable is the two songs that freddie plays on acoustic guitar. he tells his interviewer that he is not an acoustic guitar player, and the guitar becomes a tool in the hands of a master. the live set that follows is unbelieveable. throw in some blues, funk, blues, soul, blues, gospel, and a little more blues, mix them all together and you have an idea of what this set was like. you will find yourself singing along with "let the good times roll". as you hear freddie turning out the licks on his axe, you can hear the sound that has influenced many blues guitarists since. blues fans - add it to your collection. guitar fans - add it to your collection.
