On Burglar, Freddie King kicks out a slew of bloozed out, rockin' reasons why you just gotta get some of his music. I don't know whether or not his other albums cook, but this one sizzles along with great consistency throughout, and when it does slow down its a welcome change that keeps the album well-balanced.

CD Reviews

Where does he come from???
W. Noshie | Beirut, Lebanon | 03/05/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you have heard of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, Walter Trout, Johnny Lang or Joe Kubek; Ask where does their music come from? Most probably the answer is: Freddie King; Burglar.

In this album, Freddie sets the standards of any guitar used in a blues or a rock song.

A 1972 release, shortly before his death, this album will blow your mind and ears away. No other blues album of its generation comes close; and this is nothing like Fredddie's previous releases.

I believe that Freddie King ranks in Blues the same as Miles Davis in Jazz. Too bad he died too soon.

Highly recommended.

Great 70's funky, boogie blues
GKG | Huntsville | 08/18/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album has a 70's rock, funky style to it, so it's a departure from Freddie's early sound. The songs contain horns, however, they are not overpowering, just in the background. Some of the songs kind of have a Albert King/Albert Collins style to them. Oh yeah, a prime example of a 70's album cover adds to the enjoyment of this. Listen to the soundbites and hopefully you will enjoy this disc as much as I do."
