Hideaway Freddie King (Freddie Christian) (1934-1976) Born and matured in Texas, he moved to Chicago in 1950. His style changed from country Blues to a Texas style urban Blues. He was a wild, technical brilliant performer and he quickly could blow others from the stage. Instead of a choice he had fun with fingerpicks, primarily with badger thumb and forefinger.
All his greatest hits like "Hideaway", "Have You Ever Loved a Woman" or "I'm Took down" and "Someday After a While" were covered by EC. His influence on EC can't be overrated! He passed away in 1976 at the age of 42 throughout a concert. Hideaway (or Hide Away) is an important tune with medley character from.
