nickers Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 RIP Akron/Cleveland Guitar legend Freddie Salem (1953-2024)... Freddie was the lead guitarist of the band "The Outlaws" .. A southern rock style band that had hits with ~Ghost Riders in the Sky~ and ~Green Grass and High Tides~ , Both songs became rock anthems and were regularly played on Hard Rock stations across the US.. Freddie was well respected among his peers and known to be a funny and personable man... Mutual colleagues/friends of mine in the Cleveland music scene always had great things to say about him... Here's an Akron Beacon Journal article on his life and death.. I really liked this cat.. Really good player and pretty nice tone. https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/entertainment/music/2024/09/24/freddie-salem-akron-former-outlaws-guitarist-dies-at-70/75359234007/#:~:text=Musician Freddie Salem, who played for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
