After their first rehearsals in beginning 2012, the rumour started going around the Netherlands and within weeks the first try-outs were booked and sold-out. Soon there was talk of a new superband. King of the World’s name refers to an old John Lee Hooker song and of course to the three Kings, Albert, Freddy and BB King. With a wide variety of roots combined with 3 parts harmony singing, they developed their own sound in songs they wrote and performed throughout 2012. This resulted in their recently released debut CD “Can’t go home” that received raving reviews and got them on the Dutch Album charts, National Radio and Television shows.
