I'm sure you blues aficionados are familiar with Freddie King. I wasn't until now. Was originally going to post the link to "Sweet Home Chicago" until it was followed on You Tube by "Have You Ever Loved a Woman."
We used to hit the Chicago blues bars when we went to trade shows, but I don't remember hearing anything like Freddie King.
Here ya go!

I saw him play with Eric Clapton in Shreveport Louisiana in 1975 probably the best concert I ever saw right up there with the Rolling Stones also in 1975 at LSU

Listen to his version of Sugar Sweet. And, get a nickel for every bar band that MURDERS Hideaway. You'll be rich.

The guy was amazing!!! Went from smooth as glass... to a raging inferno throughout almost all of his music... gone way too soon...

His fierce attack on the strings were matched by his voice. I saw him in 74 at Liberty hall in Houston from the front row. Never forget it, don't expect to ever see anyone like it again. Force of nature, I have always referred to him as the Earl Campbell of the Blues. Run right over you.

PERFECT description. And that Gold Top was a flame thrower in his hands for sure.
