Description
1972 Shelter First Pressing Stereo Release of Bandleader/Composer/Guitarist/Pioneering Blues Vocalist Freddie King Entitled Texas Cannonball, Produced by Leon Russell and Benny Cordell, Engineered by Peter Nicholls, Remixed by John Fry, Album Recorded at Skyhill Studios in Hollywood - "Similar to his first Shelter outing (Getting Ready), but with more of a rock feel. That's due as much to the material as the production. Besides covering tunes by Jimmy Rogers, Howlin' Wolf, and Elmore James, King 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. Reissued in its entirety on King of the Blues." - Spectacular Personnel for the Quintet Features Legendary Composer Freddie King on Guitar and Vocals, Don Preston on Additional Guitar, the Brilliant Leon Russell on Piano, Organ & Slide Guitar, the Great Donald "Duck" Dunn on Bass and Al Jackson on Drums! - Selections on Side One Are John Fogerty's Lowdown in Lodi, Lowell Fulson's Reconsider Baby, the Leon Russell/Chris Blackwell Penned Big Legged Woman, Me and My Guitar & Original Leon Russell Composition I'd Rather Be Blind - Tracks for Side Two Are Isaac Hayes/D. Porter's Can't Trust Your Neighbor, the Freddie King Penned You Was Wrong, Howlin' Wolf's How Many More Years, the Bill Withers Classic Ain't no Sunshine and Elmore James/C. Lewis/M.
