"This project captures the authentic, incredibly raw style that King embodies, but it also expands on his forms of expression with solo, acoustic, and even gospel influence." — Analog Planet

You've never met anyone quite like the charismatic Delta blues guitarist and vocalist Little Freddie King. Going Upstairs captures the authentic, incredibly raw style that King embodies, but it also expands on his forms of expression with solo, acoustic, and even gospel influence.

Born in Mississippi, King rode the rails to New Orleans at the age of 14, began to study guitar, and soon found himself performing in juke joints across the city. King mastered his craft and recorded the first New Orleans electric blues album (Harmonica Williams and Little Freddie King) before setting off to tour with John Lee Hooker and Bo Diddley.

Here, King is backed by his longtime band members ‘Wacko' Wade Wright on drums and Robert Louis diTullio, Jr. on harmonica. The album also features the playing of Nashville guitarist Stephen Daly and bassist Paul Defiglia.

Musicians:
Little Freddie King, vocals, electric and acoustic guitar
"Wacko" Wade Wright, drums, tambourine
Stephen Daly, 2nd guitar and slide
Paul Defligia, bass
