| WOW! He used every trick, technique, and move in the book on that one song! I've never seen him play live before. What an eye-opening revelation to go with the smoothness of his blues vibes. Thanks for posting this! |

I saw him at the Fillmore in San Francisco accompanied by Steve Kimock. I really enjoyed watching Steve's face as he watched Freddie play.
He was a unique steel player and is missed.

| Yes Hop Wilson is great too! There’s a CD I’ve had since the 90s which is a collection of his singles and some alternate takes of songs well worth having. Listen to the song Merry Xmas Baby, boy Hop’s Xmas don’t sound so merry! Seems he recorded on a few regional labels one being the Goldband label. He was part of the gulf coast sound like Lazy Lester and Lonesome Sundown. The Fabulous Thunderbirds early albums heavily mined this sound. |
