Music reviews of The Best of the Shelter Years
Music Review: Freddie King compilations
Rating: 5 Stars
I think this CD is well worth purchasing. Even after the first listen it is obvious that without Freddie King, Rock & Roll would probably have a very different sound. King's guitar attack was fierce and has been well plagiarized by Rock and Blues guitarists. This compilation illustrates why Texas Blues is really a genre and a style unto itself and was pioneered, if not started, by Freddie King. Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughn both owe a lot to Freddie King.
Freddie's 70's musical output had a lot of Rock elements but I don't think it was worse than his 60's material. In my estimation, it's different but comparable. This disc has a lot of his best material from the 70's but there are some good songs from his tenure with the RSO label. The highlights of which can be found on the "Stayin' Home with the Blues" compilation. That disc features material from the "Burglar" album which Eric Clapton guested on. Freddie King's most influential and most popular material from the 60's can be found on "The Very Best of Freddy King Volume 1." Almost all of Freddie King's musical output from that period can be found on the three discs in that series.
