Fast Freddie
Some of the most genuine and authentic guitar playing in today's blues scene comes straight out of Freddie Felger's Stratocasters, strung up for a right handed player, then flipped over and played left-handed through his legendary Super Reverb. His phrasing, rhythms and tones are all seamless and come straight from the source of the blues - a great departure from many of the "blues bands" in existence today, who include their music in the genre simply because they incorporate a healthy dose of I-IV-V progressions. As any true fan already knows, the blues is the sound of the soul set to rhythm, not just a chord progression. You get the real thing when you listen to The Fast Freddie Band...
