About this album

Burglar is a strong late-period set from Freddie King, sharpening his blues rock with funkier rhythms and tougher grooves. Issued in 1974, it shows the guitarist adapting his Texas blues authority to the mid-70s without losing his trademark attack or phrasing. The album moves between punchy originals and well-chosen material, with King’s voice and lead guitar carrying the songs through a lean, modern electric sound. As one of his final studio albums, it captures an artist still pushing forward, and it remains a vivid example of how blues and funk could meet in mainstream rock form.
