The "Souls Of Souls," Is What I Call Him! I Started Playing Guitar When I Was Eight Years Old. At Nine, I Heard Him For zThe First Time, At Thirteen, I Was Performing His Music At The Troubadour Nightclub In L.A. I Can Sing With His "Soul," In My Heart & Soul, Only Because He Was Made Of Nothing But "Soul.." He Was And Still Is My Most Important Influence In Life, Music, & "My Soul" My He & His Soul Rest In Peace, Especially, Because Of What ,Importantance, He Played In The Lives Of His Peers..
it's funny.i was looking at reviews of his cds on rateyourmusic and someone referred to him as just some white guy trying to sound black or something to that effect and, others cited his voice as being hard to get into......well, i feel it is imperative to note that a) he doesn't sound anything like a typical interpreter of folk blues because of that voice, which is utterly unique (lower and fuller than other baritones) -- and as for 'getting used to it' -- it goes down like chocolate milk.....
@posthumanhero well, obviously the person who said those things doesn't know what he's talking about. Anyone who saw Fred in person, in a club or coffeehouse, came away with the feeling that they had heard someone special. The 'real deal' if you will. No one filled up a room with a voice like Fred. You felt like it when through your mid section. And his musicianship was of such a high order that you knew immediately that this performer was authentic.
This is awesome! Fred is the man!
