History

Freddie King played blues guitar loud, clean and with a physical attack that made him a bridge between the Chicago clubs and the rock stages that came after. Born in Texas and schooled in the bars of Chicago's West Side, he cut Hide Away, an instrumental that crossed over to a pop audience and became close to a compulsory exercise for every young guitarist in Britain who wanted to play blues. He picked with a plastic thumbpick and a metal fingerpick, which gave the notes a hard edge and let him snap a string rather than bend it politely. He sang too, in a big open voice that could carry a slow blues like Have You Ever Loved a Woman with almost no help from the band. In the 1970s his records moved toward rock production and a wider audience, and Going Down from that period became the song later bands reached for. He is counted with B.B. King and Albert King as one of the three Kings of blues guitar.
