Synopsis

Product Description
Riding his bike through Hurricance Katrina waters to safety, Freddie doesn't just play the blues; he is the BLUES you've heard about and thought had been washed away. With the same band that's backed him for over a decade, this is rough and raw music while being laid back and easy at the same time. Though he has lived in New Orleans since his teens, King's playing and singing are unmistakably rooted in his native Mississippi Delta soil. He is eclectic but gritty and his thumb is always his pick, giving his guitar playing a powerful, thick sound. Despite his fierce reputation as 'rough and tumble', back in the early days, he marvels at having become a blues elder.

CD Reviews

Freddie the way he should be heard...LIVE!!!!
Paul Bellocq | Slidell, LA USA | 03/05/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are one of those fans who got annoyed by some of the studio mixes on Freddie's last two releases, then this live recording was meant for you. Also, this one includes four tracks from his 1995 Swamp Boogie release, which is out-of-print. The remaining tracks are live versions from his last two releases (2005 and 2008).



Listening to this one will bring back memories of beer soaked smoky night clubs in New Orleans. This is about as authentic as the blues can get!!!! Just get it!"
