Editado em 1972 como a segunda de três gravações de Freddie King para a Shelter Records, a editora de Leon Russel baseada em Tulsa. De facto, quando Russel criou a Shelter Records originalmente, diz-se que um dos principais motivos foi o seu desejo antigo de gravar um dos seus artistas favoritos, Freddie King.

Released in 1972 as the second of Freddie King's three releases for Shelter Records, Leon Russell's Tulsa-based label. In fact, when Russell first formed Shelter, he reportedly did so partly to play out his vision of recording one of his favorites, Freddie King.

King's output on Texas Cannonball includes brilliant covers of songs by Howlin' Wolf, Lowell Fulson, Leon Russell, Bill Withers and Elmore James.

Backing artists include many musicians who played with Eric Clapton in the 1970s. Clapton has stated many times over that Freddie King was among his chief influences. Supporting musicians include Leon Russell on piano, Carl Radle and Donald "Duck" Dunn on bass, Jim Gordon, Chuck Blackwell and Al Jackson on drums, Don Preston on guitar and John Gallie on organ.

Recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis in February 1972. Texas Cannonball is among the first titles to be pressed at Acoustic Sounds' Quality Record Pressings.
