Every Friday is Funky Friday on Planet Mondo
And today FF brings you the 'Texas Cannonball', the 'Big King Of The Strings'
Mr Freddie King - wearing his guitar strap like a shoulder holster and using a crazy but killer technique that's all fingers and thumbs.
Treat yourself and watch him tear it up on I'm Tore Down - check out those have a go-go backing dancers
I'm Tore Down
Now settle in for San Ho Zay. Look out for Clarence 'Gate Mouth' Brown on guitar. And on sky high bass... Billy Cox, who later became the bass man in Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys and check out the cheeky horn riffing
San Ho Zay
San Ho Zay is available for download here
And is on the all 'banker' plank splanker album
*winces and pulls James Finlayson face*
