Freddie 'The Texas Cannonball' King - Going Down

[dannycrunk]

This is the song you'll hear playing on the elevator to hell...

"I'm going down, I'm going down, down, down, down, down."

Damn right you are. Damn right you are.



[MethodManBlunts]

I remember my dad playing this song on a cassette when my sister and I were in the car. I must have been around 10. We both loved this song. I heard it again because of the TV show "Eastbound & Down" as soon as I heard it, it sparked some old memories. This song is fuckin' great.

[guitargyyy5]

played this live a couple days ago....Most of the crowd died under the weight of this heavy ass riff.

[quahog900]

this blackboy cooks ass

[clarkewi]

How can anyone dislike this song? Its a classic.

[robwindley39]

Kenny Fucking Powers.

[Umoedd]

Is that Les Dawson on piano on this track?

[debs4mysweetbaby]

@Umoedd no, it's leon russell.. he signed freddy king to shelter records for this album and is the pianist and arranger on this album :)

[Douris1994]

i could totally see the black keys covering this...and itd be super fucking epic

[Emaster255]

Driving down a highway with a beer between your knees windows down passing 115 not givin a fuck.

How'd Freddie get the nick-name of 'The Texas Cannon-Ball', anyways?

[hadon272]

[1Doz]

Very heavy song. I love it.

[ultimatio]

One person is going up.

[hallmitchell]

Who is the back up band on this? They are incredible!

[dpkooper]

@hallmitchell This song is from the first album that Freddie recorded on Leon Russell's Shelter Records label. Russell, a former bit player as a rock pianist, had finally achieved solo act notoriety and pursued Freddie heavily for his new label. Russell's interest and piano-work on this and the two subsequent albums helped King enter a career resurgence.

[hallmitchell]

Sam Kinison was the first guy i heard play this song. Great to be back to the river!

[stewgotz1]

What kind of pedal/amp is he using to get that sound?

[ShookOnesTO]

yea eastbound reminded me of this song but i just want to say this is a VERY GREAT track. everybody should listen to this. he was a great man and a great musician. R.I.P Freddie KIng.

[BacchusHaze]

It really doesn't get any better than this!

[LElliott1979]

I confess, I came here because of Eastbound...

I am now going to investigate Freddie King's entire discography. That was AWESOME.

[thosewerethedaze]

[japsnoet2]

[octofish]

One of the "Three Kings". Good God in heaven thank you for sending the Kings!!!

[Itsooz]

Songs like this have 10x more balls then those death metal clowns who have to dress like it's halloween to feel confident about themselves..

[chebosludo]

I'm Out, He is (Absofuckinlutely) IN !

[whittles3210]

This song makes my dick hard. Jack daniels, steak, 2 chicks, heat sack, and this song. PARTY

[tthomaselli2]

@capoeiraike

Rather than make a "Quit bringing up Bieber you fucking faggot!!!" comment whenever I see somebody else mention the talentless shit-stain's name like what they do to me, I'm gonna make an exception.; This song, itself is the epitome of win compared to that sorry excuse of a fertilized egg.

[bellbonne]

@capoeiraike --Likewise--I grew a pair while I listened--and I'm a girl!!!!! This is the best!

[centexhuntclub]

I have never heard a song that is so complete top to bottom, and that rocks so hard. It makes me wanna go buy a 1968 camaro and blast this shit going down the road.

[RikJamezBich]
