From Little Freddie King's first thumb-strummed rhythm to his deep pocket leads
Subtle yet deep-reaching, King locks into the pusle in that irressistible fashion it seems musicians only learn from spending years in New Orleans. King was born in McComb, Mississippi in 1940. His father was a blues guitarist named Jesse James Martin
Moved to New Orleans at age 17
is an anual attraction at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival and has toured Europe with Bo Diddley and John Lee Hooker.
It's the same sound that fired the work of Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and Freddie's cousin, the great Lightnin' Hopkins
this is blues
Mississippi style.
King's fantastically sleazy pawn shop leads drip all over songs
everything he wants to tell you comes out in that sound with titles like "Bad Chicken"
