Regardless of how the song came to be, Freddie&#8217;s recording of &#8220;Hide Away&#8221; has been rerecorded and covered by countless blues musicians for years.

Every one of these stellar guitarists put their own stamp on the great tune&#8230; see if you can hear all the little differences. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Freddie King originally recorded &#8220;Hide Away&#8221; in the early 1960s and the tune has been covered by countless blues musicians, making it a blues classic.
