| Description: | 1972 album reissued on 180gr vinyl including brilliant covers of songs by Howlin' Wolf, Lowell Fulson, Leon Russell, Isaac Hayes, Bill Withers and Elmore James. - 180 GR.Deluxe 180-Gram Reissue. Including original artwork & credits. A true masterpiece, full of dashing solos and containing some of Freddie King's finest vocals since his heyday in the late '50s and early '60s. Released by Shelter Records in 1972, Texas Cannonball is similar to his first Shelter outing (Getting Ready), but with more of a rock feel. It covers tunes by Jimmy Rogers, Howlin' Wolf, and Elmore James, tackles compositions by Leon Russell and, more unexpectedly, Bill Withers, Isaac Hayes-David Porter, and John Fogerty (whose "Lodi" is reworked into "Lowdown in Lodi"). King's own pen remained virtually in retirement, as he wrote only one of the album's tracks. In 2007, the Houston Chronicle listed Texas Cannonball among the 75 essential Texas blues albums.Originally released in 1972 by Shelter Records [r2128688].
Recorded at Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tenn. and Skyhill Studios, Hollywood, Calif.
