"All the major hits are here, of course, the songs that such guitarists as Eric Clapton copied, but what makes this so absorbing is hearing how King remained a forceful, compelling presence even when he was attempting to cash-in on trends. That's not so evident on either the early single-disc Rhino collection or the Bear Family set. By distilling King to his '60s singles, it's possible to hear all of his dimensions -- his influence, his force, his versatility -- and realize that he is every bit the titan that B.B. and Albert are".

"Freddie King, influenced by B.B. King (no relation) and Muddy Waters, revealed aggressive Chicago blues guitar glory when recording for the Cincinnati-based Federal label between 1960-'66".
