Freddie King (1934/1976) was one of the most original and greatest Blues musicians of all time . A melodic voice just made for the Blues! This song, as all of his music, exhibits his mastery of the Blues genre with a heavenly combination his unique music style combined with his masterful guitar-playing instrumentation and his unique voice, are sublime examples of his supreme grasp of the true essence of the blues! A Freddie King, a well deserved surname-King? Master of the blues! John Menachem Orta 1/2/2024 California, USA
He was truly a great Bluesman. I always loved how he was immortalized by Grand Funk Railroad’s “We’re an American Band”. Loved how they brought him out on tour with them.
I heard an interview with Mark Farner saying on that tour Freddie did clean them out when they played cards which in the song he makes a reference to that bit of fun. Freddie was the real deal . ♣♠

Freddie is the voice that every subsequent blues singer tried/tries to emulate.

Pretty much sums it up. Funny how that happens, I had the same experience one time when I saw the Buddy Guy / Junior Wells Blues Band in a small club.

Facts
Great bass tone. Are those tape wounds ?
Great resource. I can’t seem to get that tone from AmpliTube.
Fun fact - his shirt collar peaks each have different postcodes!
Black strings on Jazz Bass??
Tape wound.
Could be old & used for several gigs.

He was died too much young !
