What a classic funky boogaloo. Power trio blues by the wizard, Freddie King! This is smokin'! I was only about old enough, just about when he died, to start getting myself out to clubs to see this happenin' live, but it wasn't for Freddie's lack of trying. He and BB King both were doing well over 300 live venues per year around this time, this news courtesy of the Gibson Gazette back in the early '70's. That's why he was the Cannonball.
This version of FK is the best ... wish I was half as good as this .. KILLER!!! check out my version of this tune .. I have over 15,000 views and lots of likes and comments .. it's worth a listen, many seem to really dig it!!
@allguitarscnc your cover is pretty good, more laid back without the push, which i personally like better, as it gives that lazy doodling sound to it, a restless drift, that suits the song beautifully.
