Hotter than molten steel and best-known for his searing, assertive guitar solos and dynamic showmanship, the great Freddy King was a forceful presence and formidable figure in two of the most prominent blues scenes: Texas and Chicago. Revered by his fans and respected by his peers, King was an innovative instrumentalist and underrated singer. He would move beyond electric blues, R&B and soul to make commercial inroads into funk. There was a time, though, in the early and mid-1960s when his records were among the most influential in blues, particularly for British and European audiences. This special 2-CD collector’s edition contains 42 remastered studio tracks, including all of the fabulous early singles – both A- & B-sides – Freddy King made for Federal Records between 1960 and 1962. The set also includes King’s rare 1956 sides for the very small El-Bee label. This is the material upon which Freddy King’s legend was built. It marks one of the most important building blocks of the electric blues.
