One of the Three Kings of blues guitar along with B.B. and Albert, Texas-born Freddy (Freddie) King influenced everyone from Eric Clapton and Peter Green in the UK to Jerry Garcia and Stevie Ray Vaughan in the States. But even his staying up all night playing poker with Grand Funk wasn’t enough to prevent his seminal King\/Federal albums from staying out of print on vinyl for decades — until Sundazed came to the rescue. The reissue campaign that began with meticulously mastered editions of King classics Let’s Hide Away and Dance Away with Freddy King, Freddy King Gives You a Bonanza of Instrumentals, and Freddy King Goes Surfin’ continues with his rare 1963 offering, Bossa Nova and Blues. In the tradition of his surfing album, which wasn’t really surf, Bossa Nova and Blues had no bossa nova — but the advertising was at least half true, and hey, there were two cuts that had “bossa nova” in the title. Though King was best known for blues instrumentals, “Bossa Nova Blues” and “The Bossa Nova Watusi Twist” (dig the dance craze threesome) were actually the only two instrumentals on an album otherwise dedicated to bluesy ballads. But of course, Freddie made it work — churning out bonafide classics like the karmic “Someday, After A While (You’ll Be Sorry)” (later covered by John Mayall and the Blues Breakers on A Hard Road, also reissued on Sundazed mono CD\/LP), the emotive “The Welfare (Turns Its Back on You),” the soulful “It Hurts to Be In Love,” and the more uptempo, New Orleans-flavored “You’re Barkin’ Up the Wrong Tree.”This Sundazed mono edition reproduces the original artwork and presents the original 12-song LP on 180 gram vinyl mastered from the original analog reels and pressed at Record Technology Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracklist\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1 (I'd Love To) Make Love To You 2:20\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 Your Barkin' Up The Wrong Tree 2:45\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 Look Ma, I'm Cryin' 3:07\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA4 It Hurts To Be In Love 2:34\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA5 You Walked In 2:37\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA6 The Bossa Nova Watusi Twist 2:45\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1 Is My Baby Mad At Me 2:20\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2 Someday, After Awhile 2:35\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3 One Hundred Years 2:20\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB4 Bossa Nova Blues 3:50\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB5 The Welfare (Turns It Back On You) 2:37\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB6 Walk Down That Aisle (Honey Chile) 2:16\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40615415873711,"sku":"Blues","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/2631\/9535\/products\/201374740150.jpg?v=1631293450"},{"product_id":"freddie-king-my-feelings-for-the-blue-import-music-on-vinyl-vinyl-lp","title":"Freddie King - My Feelings For the Blue [Import] [Music On Vinyl] - Vinyl LP","description":"Tracks\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Yonder Wall\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Stumble\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 I Wonder Why\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Stormy Monday\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 I Don't Know\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 What'd I Say\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 Ain't Nobody's Business What We Do\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 You Don't Have to Go\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 Woke Up This Morning\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 The Things I Used to Do\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11 My Feeling for the Blues","brand":"AENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509506339045,"sku":"Blues","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/2631\/9535\/files\/3731686.jpg?v=1703888477"},{"product_id":"freddie-king-burglar-import-vinyl-lp","title":"Freddie King - Burglar [Import] - Vinyl LP","description":"GATEFOLD 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL RECORD. Produced by Mike Vernon, this superb album consists of ten songs performed by the great Freddie King and a slew of guests, among them such greats as Eric Clapton and Brian Auger. The youthful legend was only 40 years of age when he cut this LP, and he would die just two years later. Al\/Music reviewer Joe Viglione gave the album a rating of four out of five stars, stating that: \"Though no songs went up the charts, Burglar is one of those gems that journeymen can put together in their sleep. Stylistically, Freddie King is from the same school as Buddy Guy, two men instrumental in bringing this art form to a mass audience. This project stands as a solid representation of an important musician which is as enjoyable as it is historic.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracks\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Pack It Up\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 My Credit Didn't Go Through\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 I Got the Same Old Blues\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Only Getting Second Best\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Texas Flyer\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 Pulp Wooo\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 She's a Burglar\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 Sugar Sweet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 I Had a Dream\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 Come on (Let the Good Times Roll)","brand":"AENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509532356837,"sku":"Blues","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/2631\/9535\/files\/4274892-3080378.jpg?v=1703889823"},{"product_id":"freddie-king-texas-cannonball-import-vinyl-lp","title":"Freddie King - Texas Cannonball [Import] - Vinyl LP","description":"Deluxe 180-Gram Reissue. Including original artwork \u0026amp; credits. A true masterpiece, full of dashing solos and containing some of Freddie King's finest vocals since his heyday in the late '50s and early '60s. Released by Shelter Records in 1972, Texas Cannonball is similar to his first Shelter outing (Getting Ready), but with more of a rock feel. It covers tunes by Jimmy Rogers, Howlin' Wolf, and Elmore James, tackles compositions by Leon Russell and, more unexpectedly, Bill Withers, Isaac Hayes-David Porter, and John Fogerty (whose \"Lodi\" is reworked into \"Lowdown in Lodi\"). King's own pen remained virtually in retirement, as he wrote only one of the album's tracks. In 2007, the Houston Chronicle listed Texas Cannonball among the 75 essential Texas blues albums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 Lowdown In Lodi\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:06\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 Reconsider Baby\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:57\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 Big Legged Woman\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:52\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA4 Me And My Guitar\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4:02\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA5 I'd Rather Be Blind\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:45\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1 Can't Trust Your Neighbor\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:54\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2 You Was Wrong\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:45\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3 How Many More Years\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:25\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB4 Ain't No Sunshine\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:15\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB5 The Sky Is Crying\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:24\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"AENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44509533012197,"sku":"Blues","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/2631\/9535\/files\/4197763-2962090.jpg?v=1703889888"},{"product_id":"freddie-king-getting-ready-vinyl-lp","title":"Freddie King - Getting Ready... - Vinyl LP","description":"Deluxe 180-Gram Reissue. Including original artwork \u0026amp; credits. The first of Freddie King's three albums for Leon Russell's Shelter label set the tone for his work for the company: superb electric blues with a prominent rock\/ soul influence. The massive Texan and the longhaired Oklahoman got it right the first time around with the aptly titled Getting Ready LP. Recorded at the legendary Chess studios in Chicago, it might well rank as Freddie King's most creatively satisfying work. An array of styles is assembled here, ranging from deep Texas Blues to touches of country church Gospel and hard sockin' funk. Also, Freddie delved deep into blues history to give his spin on some classic pieces of the genre. Elmore James' \"Dust My Broom\" is done acoustically, with just Freddie and his Spanish guitar. The production on Jimmy Rogers' \"Walking by Myself\" is equally low-fi, adding Russell's honky-tonk piano ramblings and a tambourine. Willie Dixon's \"Worried Life Blues\", however, features King at his most powerfully expressive on this electric blues. The fast-paced stomper includes lightnin'-fast solos from King and he can be heard duelling with the studio guitarist Don Preston, as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 Same Old Blues\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA2 Dust My Broom\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA3 Worried Life Blues\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA4 Five Long Years\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA5 Key To The Highway\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1 Going Down\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB2 Living OnThe Highway\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB3 Walking By Myself\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB4 Tore Down\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB5 Palace Of The King\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"AENT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44822233514213,"sku":"Blues","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/2631\/9535\/files\/4197767-2962092.jpg?v=1710261473"}],"url":"https:\/\/freshproducerecords.com\/collections\/freddie-king-1.oembed","provider":"Fresh Produce Records Macon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
