What The Critics Say

Texas Flyer is one of the many live Freddie King compilations released during the 1990s. The recording quality varies among the tracks and a few of the songs are not captured in their entirety. However, King's performances, as well as his song selections, are of a high caliber. Ironically, this CD does not include the title track, but does include King's version of Bob Dylan's "Meet Me in the Morning." ~ Jeff Schwachter, All Music Guide

What The Critics Say

This Atlanta concert wasn't issued in recorded form for two decades. Archival releases of this sort tend to be for collectors only, but this is a cut above the standard. The sound is very good, the band is pretty tight, and Freddie King solos with fire and sings with conviction, sticking mostly to covers of warhorses like "Dust My Broom," "Key to the Highway," and "Sweet Home Chicago." It's a better deal, in fact, than his studio albums for Shelter in the early '70s, boasting a no-frills small-combo approach that is far more suitable. As a neat bonus, it also contains two solo acoustic performances recorded at a Dallas radio station in the 1970s. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
