LITTLE FREDDIE KING (Dr.Blues to da BONE)
We first cottoned onto Fread Martin, a.k.a. Little Freddie King, a few years back when he released his GREAT "You Don't Know What I Know" disc for Fat Possum, the great Mississippi label dedicated to overlooked older bluesmen who play gutsy, lo-fi blues. A hard-living character who has been playing the rural electric blues of his native Mississippi in the lowest bowels of NEW ORLEANS' now-devastated Ninth Ward for years, King and his band have a penchant for hard-hitting, minimalist chords and lyrics, delivered by a cracked, heavily lived-in voice. Much of King's material has an old-style blues feel, but he is at his most charming when he strips it down to just guitar and howling vocals as depicted on his 2008 "Messin' Around tha House" and excellent live performance on his 2010 "Gotta to Walk with da King".
MadeWright Records new 2012 release picks up where "Crackhead Joe" (the premier socio-economic-political song of our time) left off presenting 12 new songs by Little Freddie "gut-bucket" King, cd entitled "Chasing tha Blues".

"The great New Orleans musical tradition is usually steeped in jazz, r&b, soul and funk, which is why LITTLE FREDDIE KING is such a unique local treasure - he delievers nothing but authentic Mississippi Delta juke-joint blues, pure and uncut, presented with the kind of laidback stagger and sometime frightening shaggy dog tales you can only find in The City That Care Forgot."
(Robert Fontenot, Offbeat Mag.)
"King plays a jumped-up electric blues that's light on solos and heavy on hypnotic repetition....Sometimes, when the hour is late and the beer is flowing freely, the blues sounds like DANCE MUSIC."
(Andy Cush, Spin Magazine)

"He's one of the last of the blues generation to migrate to New Orleans who formed a SUBTERRANEAN subculture of downhome Mississippi blues artist. He presents the roots and rawness that's missing from a lot of blues today - or what passes for blues. He's the real thing." JIM O'NEAL, Founding editor Living Blues Mag.

(2012 New Release)
Little Freddie King's life has always been hard. Hell, not long ago he was blown out of New Orleans by Katrina and he went missing for a time. When he finally settled back into town, Freddie was forced to move out of his new apartment by toxic Chinese dry wall that was wrecking the place. It's always been this tough and it always will be. CHASING tha BLUES takes you on a rough ride through Freddie's life. You get to meet Crackhoe Flo and hang out at the Bucket of Blood.
Scott M. Brock, Living Blues
