In a bluesy groove

Freddie Robbinson   “The Coming Atlantis”   With Orchestration by Monk Higgins.   World Pacific Records.   Freddie cut his teeth with Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf on classic Chess recordings such as “Spoonful” and “Mean Ol’ Frisco” in the late fifties and early sixties before taking the spotlight on this, his first album as a leader in 1968.   This Lp was later reissued with the title “Black Fox”, one of the cuts included and heard here.

    I would definitely like to hear this bluesy-type number! Dig that cover photo.

    That is one cool cover. Love the angle on the guitar.

    Freddie Robinson, who would later become known as Abu Talib, passed away at a hospital in Lancaster, California on Thursday, Oct 8th at age 70 after a battle with cancer. R.I.P.
    BTW… In 1968, that guitar (Barney Kessel Custom, made by Gibson… of course) was less than ten years old. But… from the looks of its beautifully “aged” binding, it must to have spent a LOT of time in smoke filled bars.
