Burglar

GATEFOLD 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL RECORD. Produced by Mike Vernon, this superb album consists of ten songs performed by the great Freddie King and a slew of guests, among them such greats as Eric Clapton and Brian Auger. The youthful legend was only 40 years of age when he cut this LP, and he would die just two years later. Al/Music reviewer Joe Viglione gave the album a rating of four out of five stars, stating that: "Though no songs went up the charts, Burglar is one of those gems that journeymen can put together in their sleep. Stylistically, Freddie King is from the same school as Buddy Guy, two men instrumental in bringing this art form to a mass audience. This project stands as a solid representation of an important musician which is as enjoyable as it is historic.
