Over a dozen recordings, all originally unissued and on vinyl for the first time!
Pressed on gold vinyl at RTI!
One of the historic "Three Kings" of the blues guitar!
Universally revered, unheard, unbelievable!
Blues master Freddy King made history with his explosive and unconventional guitar style, his immortal instrumentals inspiring axemen both at home and abroad. The Mojo! showcases Freddy's fusion of traditional blues with a contemporary edge across a blazing set of originally unissued alternate takes and rarities from the King Records era and beyond, all 14 making their first-ever appearance on LP!
The Mojo! showcases blazing alternate takes from the King era and 1968 rarities. The 1960 material includes the B.B. King flavored "See See Baby" and "You Know That You Love Me (But You Never Tell Me So)." 1961-1962 alternates include the loping, medium-tempo "Butterscotch (Onion Rings)," "Just Pickin'," "Heads Up," "Wash Out," and the offbeat "Walk Down That Aisle (Honey Chile)." Freddy unleashes fireworks on two 1962 recordings: "Closed Door (High Rise)" (minus the horns that appeared on the released recording) and "I'm On My Way To Atlanta."
