Personnel: Freddie King (vocals, guitar); Don Preston (guitar); Leon Russell (piano); John Gallie (organ); Carl Radle, Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass); Chuck Blackwell, Jim Gordon, Al Jackson (drums).
Producers: Leon Russell, Denny Cordell.
Reissue producer: Tom Cartwright.
Recorded at Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tennessee on February 26-27, 1972 and Skyhill Studios, Los Angeles, California on February 2-4, 1972. Includes liner notes by Bill Dahl.
Similar to his first Shelter outing (Getting Ready), but with more of a rock feel. That's due as much to the material as the production. Besides covering tunes by Jimmy Rogers, Howlin' Wolf, and Elmore James, King tackles compositions by Leon Russell and, more unexpectedly, Bill Withers, Isaac Hayes-David Porter, and John Fogerty (whose "Lodi" is reworked into "Lowdown in Lodi"). King's own pen remained virtually in retirement, as he wrote only one of the album's tracks. Reissued in its entirety on King of the Blues. ~ Richie Unterberger
Texas blues guitar wizard Freddie King was a major influence on Eric Clapton and many of the British blues-rockers--his sleek, stinging tone was like no other. He performs an eclectic array of cover versions on 1972's TEXAS CANNONBALL, including songs by Bill Withers, Isaac Hayes, Howlin' Wolf, and Leon Russell, and gets sturdy musical support from several musicians who also played with Clapton in the '70s.

Sammy Lind, after an hour of sleep, crawled out of his sleeping bag, and scrambled to find his sunglasses. His hand instead found a bramble of "Goatheads" a stubborn variety of desert thorns that plagued the dry ground. He spit out some profanities as he dug the thorns out of his palm, tossed the glasses onto his face to shield him from the relentlessly hot desert sun. Sleep was hopeless. He cracked open a can of energy drink and took a swig of its penicillin popsicle flavor. With his hangover, the flavor of the energy drink alone was too much, so he emptied the contents of a flask into the can, filling the un-likely mixture to the top. The drink hit the spot. The whiskey soothed his head, while the caffeine gave him strength to pick up his fiddle. Thus the popular drink "The Weiser Sunrise" was born. The fiddling brought to life the neighboring hung-over musicians, and a surly yet smiling string band formed, and began to pound out some driving mountain tunes. All day and late into the night this music persisted. The energy of that serendipitous band that formed in those days stuck with the fellas. They knew there was more to the music than the product of heat, sleep depravation and sleazy cocktails. Something clicked out there in that thorn ...
