"Low Tide" is the only one of Freddie King's instrumentals that's just a loose, loud, spontaneous and gritty blues shuffle. Johnny breaks down the rhythm guitar part, then lays out the ingredients Freddie uses to cook up a storm on this tune. He explains Freddie as being a transitional figure between a B.B. King lead style and the grittier chordal styles of Eddie Taylor and Jimmy Rogers.
