Freddie King - Texas Cannonball '1972 [2011]

Tracks list

Released in 1972 as the second of Freddie Kings three releases for Shelter
Records, Leon Russells Tulsa-based label. In fact, when Russell first formed
Shelter, he reportedly did so partly to play out his vision of recording one of
his favorites, Freddie King.
Kings output on Texas Cannonball includes brilliant covers of songs by Howlin
Wolf, Lowell Fulson, Leon Russell, Bill Withers and Elmore James. 
Backing artists include many musicians who played with Eric Clapton in the
1970s. Clapton has stated many times over that Freddie King was among his chief
influences. Supporting musicians include Leon Russell on piano, Carl Radle and
Donald Duck Dunn on bass, Jim Gordon, Chuck Blackwell and Al Jackson on drums,
Don Preston on guitar and John Gallie on organ.
