he also says he play from feeling,1 thing ive learned as a musician is the natural high is what its all about not fame or money,or being a puppet 4 the industry,fred is the real deal,black musicians back then lived a hard life in the usa n put those feelings n exspearinces in2 their music.not only did it give people a great sense of pride n lift the spirits of people living in hardship.but it gave fred the gift u need 2 b a tru inovator,his the finest fingerpicking slide guitarist ive heard.

In Fred's own words: "Songs should tell the truth. When I play - if you pay attention, what I sing the guitar sings, too. And what the guitar say, I say"...He surely has a unique sound that touches your heart and soothes your soul...Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
