The Living Root: The Blues Lives on in New Orleans


Check out this mini-profile of a living blues legend, Freddie King. He is of a rare breed of surviving originators of American music. He lives and breathes the blues, the root and essential harmonic through line that pervades everything from the hardest rock n' roll to the smoothest R&B. Soak in the unhurried rhythm of his strumming and each riff being like reading the source code for all the musical forms that followed the blues out of the delta. The man and his music are our living American soul and Chunnel.TV has the opportunity to showcase that!!
