Remembering Freddie King on what would have been his 89th Birthday!

As a guitarist, Freddie King’s style as a guitarist is rooted in the Texas and Chicago Blues style of music. According to author John Hartley Fox, “King was a Texas bluesman as well as a member of the same “West Side” school of gritty Chicago blues that produced incendiary guitarists Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Magic Sam, and Luther Allison”. When his family moved to Chicago in 1949, a young Freddie was exposed to the guitar styles of Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker and Howlin’ Wolf in the city’s South Side nightclubs. As a teenager, Freddie was rejected by Chess Records and the East Side blues scene for his perceived vocal similarity to BB King. To handle rejection he decided to leave Chicago’s South Side scene and he migrated to the city’s upcoming West Side music scene and he became a star name with the West Side’s upstart Cobra Records. He offered a fusion of the more sedate Texas blues sound with the raw Chicago style set him apart from the crowd and gave his music a fresher and more kinetic feel than his peers, as evidenced on iconic tracks such as Hide Away and Have You Ever Loved a Woman. This was the fresh, contemporary style that helped make Freddie one of the most influential figures on the British blues explosion of the 1960s, with Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jeff Beck and Mick Taylor all citing him as a huge influence, as did fellow Texan Stevie Ray Vaughan later on.
