I'm 52 and only now did I bother to research this song. I didn't think FREE had written the song but I was too lazy to look into it. Well, now I know that Albert King first recorded the song: "The Hunter" was written by Stax Records' house band, Booker T. and the MGs, and Carl Wells. The song is a mid-tempo twenty-four bar blues in the key of A.[1] Backing Albert King (vocal and guitar) are: Booker T. Jones (organ), Steve Cropper (rhythm guitar), Donald "Duck" Dunn (bass), Al Jackson, Jr. (drums) plus members of The Memphis Horns, Wayne Jackson (trumpet), Andrew Love (tenor saxophone), and Joe Arnold (baritone sax). "The Hunter" was first released on Albert King's 1967 album, Born Under a Bad Sign, which "became one of the most popular and influential blues albums of the late '60s".[2] In 1969, it was released as a single (with "As the Years Go Passing By" on Atlantic 2604), but did not reach the charts. The song later appeared on various Albert King compilation albums.

Maybe because King didn't *write* it. :-) I hope Danzig at least credited the composers.

Glenn Danzig covered this on the debut album. Gave no writing credit to Mr. King though :(
