#981 Freddie King - Burglar

Well-polished blues from a man that's half the shouter of BB, but a doubly flashy guitar player. This is frenetic, feelgood blues, full of fretboard fireworks and showmanship, with little of that crooning, mournful pathos you might come in expecting. More Clapton than Johnson, this goes down about as easy as blues can do, more likely to make you notice the world than make you try to understand it 3.5/5
