This is as raw as it gets!Thanks to the gang at Fat Possum for, once again, finding a unique and deserving bluesman and giving him a chance to reach a much larger audience. This CD is really Little Freddie at his best,down and dirty! If you like your blues a tad ragged and raunchy,you GOTTA check this one out!"Crack Head Joe" is the kind of song that shows you that Freddie has a real unique way of telling a story and the talent to make a great song out of it as well."Tough Frog to Swallow" is a much better song than the song clip demonstrates(who picks these clips anyway?).Freddie has had a big following overseas for sometime now and hopefully this CD will win over a whole new set of fans here in the States!Check It Out, CabmanGut bucket; New Orleans delta BluesI got to give it to Fat Possuum!They keep finding these unknown old masters of the Delta/country blues.Little Freddie King sounds like a cross between Asie Payton, Slim Harpo and John Lee Hooker with that New Orleans juke feel and the Remixes are good also. Little Freddie is right up there with T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour and R. L. Burnside. Great CD!Fat Possum Does it AgainLittle Fredie kings earlier releases would lead you to believe that he wouldn't fit in well with the rest of the Fat Possum Roster. But this release proves that he fits in just as well as R.L. or Paul Wine Jones. King's music owes more to John Lee hooker and Lightning hopkins and even Junior Kimbrough (a La Crack Head Joe) than to Freddie King, unlike previous releases. The sound here is absolutely raw. Fat possum makes sure that he fits perfectly in by adding there trade mark Remixes to such songs as "Looking For my woman" and "Chicken Dance(Remix)". Fans of Fat Possum will want this. |
