I was born down in Dallas, raised up in the city of the wind
Yeah, I could spend a month of Sundays, talkin' about the places I've been
Yeah, I played the blues in England, I visit with the queen
She really dug my style, but queen is not my thing
I'm goin' back to Dallas, back to the palace of the king

Hey, they wanted me in Russia, but Moscow was much too cold
Yeah, I could have played down in Denmark, but the girls was much too old
Yeah, let me tell you something funny, I don't know what they say
I can't find a Chitlins Pizza for any price I pay
I'm goin' back to Dallas, back to the palace of the king

Oh, living in the palace of the king
Yeah, I'm living in the palace, gives me service quite the same yeah
I can make you smile with every note I play
I can make you happy playin' the blues my way
I'm goin back to Dallas, back to the palace of the king
Oh, living in the palace of the king
Yeah, I'm living in the palace, never had service quite the same yeah

I been around the world, I have many things,
nothing makes me satisfied, but this blues I sing
I'm goin' back to Dallas, back to the palace of the king
Yeah I'm living in the palace of the king
Living in the palace of the king...

Bear Family records out of Germany has just released a huge Freddie King compilation. The Sunday night blues program I listened to a few days ago, while driving from the UP to A2, broadcast by Central Michigan University public radio played a bunch of FK, including his first release. Great radio show by the Duke of Juke as well.

As for less well known Freddie King, I suggest giving a listen to the tune Pulpwood.

[Poppa Stoppa]

As for less well known Freddie King, I suggest giving a listen to the tune Pulpwood.I have a soft spot for that whole album, 'Burglar', with the Gonzales horn section. 'Pack It Up' is a great tune too.

[KBR]

we did about 7 Freddie Kings songs Labor day at our 5pm-11pm Gig in SF

Does anyone have this compilation? I must say I am tempted...

Outstanding. Wish I'd been there.

I was at a midwestern winery, listening to a pale imitation, myself.

[duanesworld]

The box contains all his studio recordings re-mastered if I remember right.

I'm also tempted, but mainly because I'd love to see the book that comes with it - I'm sure they've done a great job with that.

The recordings are pretty easily available elsewhere, and for less.

Killer solo in that song.

Killer solo in that song.

Texas Cannonball should be required listening for anyone serious about guitar.

I can't believe I waited till I was 40 years old (this year) to finally start listening to Freddie King.
