Earl Johnson IV AKA Earl King: 2/7/34 Singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer whose career in the blues and rhythm & blues of New Orleans brought about such popular numbers as “I Hear You Knocking”, “Trick Bag”, and his celebrated, signature song “Come On” (also known as “Let the Good Times Roll”).
I used to live about 50 yards from a place that used to exist called Tasty Donuts at the corner of Prytania and Louisiana in New Orleans. Earl hung there practically 24/7 for years. Earl had a close friend named Issac Bolden that was a producer and local music business character who was his 24/7 running partner. I think the only time Earl wasn't either at Tasty Donuts or with Issac or both was when he was asleep.
@hassledguy That was Earl's office. He used to get calls on the pay phone and everything. I live 2 blocks from there now. Though the Tastee is of course long gone. 'Dose Days' as Ronnie LaMarque would say.
He looks like he was a powerful guy. Guitar Shorty was built like Earl. He used to do a diving somersault while playing the guitar on the dance floor among other things like a headstand while playing guitar. He was 60 when he was doing that shit.
I always put that out there when someone says the 3 Kings. I educate them. I've never once received a negative response. When they look into it they have to agree that "The Four Kings" is correct. I don't know how much Earl travelled but I don't remember him coming to Vancouver. Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, BB, Gatemouth, all the guys that were on the circuit came to Vancouver a couple times a year so Earl just wasn't as well known.
Stevie Ray Vaughan had a great blues just like Earl King. Blues about your soul and EARL KING and SRV had different souls and because that a different blues playing, so SRV cant improvise just like EARL KING, and EARL KING cant play just like SRV. Thats because SRV calls ALBERT KING the great guitarrist in the world, because he cant play just like he and cant play just like BB KING or T-bone Walker and vice-versa. Do you understand my point now?
yea everyone has their own style... but the solo was sloppy.... u can hear it... his style to sloppy???? hmmmmm. i could make mistakes and say "oh its my style man" ... nah...

The Blues has nothing to do with how well you play. Its about how you feel. Thats how it is.

I dont know maybe i am too bad, but i cant record something like that with my guitar.

too bad that earl king isn't always credited as one of the four kings of blues, they usually leave him out and just say there are 3.
