My personal review and reflection:
Freddie King passed away too soon. He died in 1976. He was a marvellous guitarplayer and had a great voice. I bought this record 20 years ago, and it is still one of my favourites. If you want to hear blues with a touch of soul, then this is something for you. Eric plays leadguitar on one track: "Sugar sweet". He plays a little softer than Freddie, but he is, as always, fantastic to listen to.
