description Freddie King - Burglar Overview

"Burglar" is a studio album by American blues guitarist Freddie King, released in 1974 under the RSO Records label. The album was produced by Mike Vernon and Eric Clapton, with Clapton also contributing guitar work, which helped reintroduce King's music to international rock audiences. It distinguishes itself from King's earlier 1970s output by leaning back into a harder, blues-oriented sound rather than the soul-influenced style of his previous records. This recording serves as a significant late-career release for enthusiasts of Texas blues and blues-rock crossover.
