Freddie King – Burglar

This superb album was produced by Mike Vernon and features ten songs performed by the great Freddie King and a host of guests, including greats such as Eric Clapton and Brian Auger. The youthful legend was only 40 years old when he recorded this LP, and he would die just two years later. Al/Music reviewer Joe Viglione rated the album four out of five stars, stating, "Though not a single song topped 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 who brought the art form to a mass audience. This project is a solid portrayal of an important musician that is as entertaining as it is historical.
