The massive Texan and the longhaired Oklahoman got it right the first time around with the aptly titled Getting Ready LP. Recorded at the legendary Chess studios in Chicago, it might well rank as Freddie King\u2019s most creatively satisfying work. An array of styles is assembled here, ranging from deep Texas Blues to touches of country church Gospel and hard sockin\u2019 funk. Also, Freddie delved deep into blues history to give his spin on some classic pieces of the genre. Elmore James\u2019 \u201cDust My Broom\u201d is done acoustically, with just Freddie and his Spanish guitar. The production on Jimmy Rogers\u2019 \u201cWalking by Myself\u201d is equally low-fi, adding Russell\u2019s honky-tonk piano ramblings and a tambourine. Willie Dixon\u2019s \u201cWorried Life Blues\u201d, however, features King at his most powerfully expressive on this electric blues. The fast-paced stomper includes lightnin\u2019-fast solos from King and he can be heard duelling with the studio guitarist Don Preston, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">01.
