Post Description

5-CD LP-sized Box-Set with 80-page hardcover book. This box set picks up right where BEAR FAMILY's first mammoth and highly acclaimed Freddie King box, Taking Care Of Business 1956-1973, left off, chronicling the last years of the great Texas-born blues guitarist's legacy with RSO RECORDS, where, of course, Eric Clapton also recorded. King's producer, Mike Vernon, had previously founded BLUE HORIZON RECORDS, England's top blues label. Vernon would helm King's first RSO album, Burglar, in Great Britain; the set spotlighted Freddie's high-energy attack in a funky soul-laced setting. One song on the acclaimed album was cut in Miami with Tom Dowd producing and Eric Clapton on second guitar. Also included are several more studio-cut gems, including a previously unreleased version of Jimmy Rogers' That's All Right, and King's last Vernon-helmed single for RSO, done in L. A. with the city's top R&B session aces.

The other four discs capture Freddie in all his onstage glory, working his magic in front of appreciative live throngs. The great majority of these in-concert performances have never been released until now; they're all professionally recorded in sparkling stereo with Freddie's crack touring band in tow and King in typically dazzling form. The last live number dates from a month-and-a-half before Freddie's tragic December 1976 death, featuring him in a guitar-wielding guest role as Clapton sings Farther Up The Road.
