Digitally remastered edition of one of Texas legend's best albums. Freddie King was one of the lynchpins of modern blues guitar. Along with Otis Rush, Buddy Guy and Magic Sam, King spearheaded Chicago's modern blues movement in the early 60's and helped set the stage for the blues-rock boom of the late 60's. His influence on such blues-rock titans as Eric Clapton helped preserve a legacy characterized by searing, aggressive guitar solos and the welding of blues and rock into one cohesive sound.
