"Produced in part by Mike Vernon, this is an entertaining and concise package performed by King and a slew of guests. The youthful legend was only 40 years when he cut this, two years before his death. Though no songs went up the charts like his hit "Hide Away" (1961), "Burglar" is one of those gems that journeymen can put together in their sleep. Tom Dowd produced "Sugar Sweet", featuring Jamie Oldaker on drums, Carl Radle on bass, and guitarists Eric Clapton and George Terry, which, of course, makes this album highly collectable in the Clapton circles. The sound doesn't deviate much from Mike Vernon production work; it is pure Freddy King, like on the final track, E. King's "Come On (Let the Good Times Roll)," where his guitar bursts through the horns and party atmosphere, creating a fusion of the pure blues found on "Sugar Sweet" and the rock that fans of Grand Funk grooved to when he opened for that group and was immortalized in their 1973 number one hit "We're An American Band"."
