Lonely Man
Years Gone By 1969 via chess
a note about this track

A Guitar Player Who Focused More On Intensity Then Flash, Having A Tremendous Impact On Countless Rock And Roll Guitarists. Born In Mississippi; Inspired By T-Bone Walker, King's First Gigs Took Him To Arkansas, And Then On To Chicago With Jimmy Reed. The Stinging Vibrato From His Gibson Flying V And Soulful Vocals Would Shape The Electric Blues. King Carved His Own Indelible Niche In The Blues Hierarchy; Passing On In 1992.
