Freddie King was born and raised in Dallas but his true guitar awakening came in 1949 when his family moved to Chicago, and he was exposed to the spellbinding guitar styles of Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker and Howlin’ Wolf in the city’s South Side nightclubs.
While still a teenager Freddie began playing as a sideman in the city’s famous blues clubs and by the mid-50s he was striking out on his own. Rejected by the Chess Records and the East Side blues scene for his perceived vocal similarity to BB King, Freddie decided to decamp to Chicago’s burgeoning West Side scene in the late 50s, and the rest was history.
Becoming a star name with the West Side’s upstart Cobra Records, Freddie’s fusion of the more sedate Texas blues sound with the raw Chicago style set him apart from the crowd and gave his music a fresher and more kinetic feel than his peers, as evidenced on iconic tracks such as Hide Away and Have You Ever Loved a Woman.
Freddie had a very vocal guitar style. He often thought in short phrases and used space to his advantage.
