  • Tom Waits!

  • Saw him in Dublin 20 years ago, great then and still great now. We will always be Desperados !!!

  • I played support to Freddie three years ago; a true genius. What an honor for me.

  • Freddie- pure genius is right. We had him in USA and we loved him while he lived here.. We were blessed to have him @ our venue- amazing and wonderful night. He is sorely missed. You surely do have a national treasure in his music, gravely passionate and pure vocals, fabulous mastery of that guitar. But you won him back! Good on you. Our loss.

  • The Cellers Clanbrassell St Dundalk, 85-86,, . The performance, Splendid.. Brilliant, Hope everything ok with u Freddy. All the best..

  • Saw Freddie bring the house down at the Mean Fiddler way back in 86/87 when he played this song. Like meself he had a full head of hair then. Apart from that nothings changed.

  • He plays a better version of this than anyone else, brilliant

  • I first saw Freddie at the city hall in Cork, He was supporting Eric Clapton that night,

    I remember the impact that Freddies genius had on me,

    I was always a Clapton fan, but...

    I seemed to 'grow out ' of Clapton, but never Freddie.

    LOVE the guy.......!

  • Thought only Tom Waits sang this song. Lovely version.

  • What a great guitarist and singer, I remember his band...., electric, massive.

  • Fred is a genius and a gentleman a national treasure

  • i agree pure genius

  • @LIMERICKNAT1 look he's ok, decent i've listened to him many years, and seen him play live. No complaints, but let's be fair he's no genius. He doesn't deserve that, he's a decent performer, no more no less

  • I agree mr. E, Fred is a gentleman and genius a national treasure

  • he's good, but no one does it like Tom!!

  • Freddie is an Artist and doesent realize how good and better than everyone else he is. I met him once and he is the most humble and quiet man you could imagine.

  • The guy is a genius. His guitar style is sublime. His voice is like rich honey.

  • Saw him in theatre L , UCD many times in the declining decades of the 20th century, superb then,brilliant now.

  • Have had the pleasure of his voice and sentiment for over 20 years - he is a legend to be treasured - P

  • saw him in wexford several years ago ,dun mhuire, played support to christy , a magic summer evening, the man can sing

  • How the F**k is this man not a superstar, He plays incredible guitar and his voice is sublime. I saw him back in the 70's and hes got even better. Thers no justice.

  • This is fantastic, I hear Freddie has put a band together, called the road. can't wait to see him around Cork

  • Hey Freddie

    Good to see you on You Tube ,Beautifull!!

    It,s time to come back to The Netherlands(maybe The Wegwijzer?)

  • Saw him about 30 years ago. He sounds better than ever! Great to hear his old classics again. He was excellent in Killarney last weekend

  • terrific. how come it takes so long to find the great voices

  • Great version. Sounds great.

  • Hearing this version of Tom Waits' classic, I think Freddie White puts way more feeling into the words.
