With no intention of putting down Eric C., it's a shame I hadn't heard of Freddie King until (I guess?) running across his recordings on YouTube - 6 months into having viewed something like 75% (rough estimate) of all Clapton videos.This music reminds me of Macon, GA, birthplace of Little Richard. Anyone ever been to Fincher's Barbecue? There's a photo hanging on the wall of my dad as a H.S. senior, standing beside a convertible:)

It just doesn't get any better than this. No reason Clapton covered this.

Great attack and unusual use of thumb and forefinger picks...love the opening lick - so distinctive! Love those guitars on his lapels.

Rest assured that most Swedes have a fairly good understanding of English. "This is the blues" wouldn´t pose that great a problem, not even in 1973.

It's kind of funny; those Swedes probably have no idea what he's saying at the beginning:)

This video shames us, his home country for never recording him like this. A rare case where the lapel length/grandiosity matches the skill/soul length/song writing truth.
