Dennis Edward Freeman[1] (August 7, 1944 – April 25, 2021) was an American Texas and electric blues guitarist.[2] Although he is primarily known as a guitar player, Freeman also played piano and electronic organ, both in concert and on various recordings. He worked with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmie Vaughan, Bob Dylan, Angela Strehli, Lou Ann Barton, James Cotton, Taj Mahal, Barry Goldberg and Percy Sledge amongst others.[3][4]
Early life
Freeman was born in Orlando, Florida, on August 7, 1944.[3][5] He spent his adolescence in Dallas, Texas, in the late 1950s and played in a rock group called The Corals while in high school. He went to college in North Texas, and had a brief stay in Los Angeles, before relocating in 1970 to Austin, Texas.[1][4]
Career
Freeman started his career as co-lead guitarist in the Cobras with Stevie Ray Vaughan.[2] He became a founding member of Southern Feeling in 1972, along with W. C. Clark and Angela Strehli.[6] He later recorded with Lou Ann Barton.[2] Freeman lived and played with both Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan throughout the 1970s and 1980s. He played piano on Jimmie Vaughan's first solo tour, and on a James Cotton album. At Antone's nightclub in the early 1980s, Freeman was a member of the house band and backed Otis Rush, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and Lazy Lester.[1]
After touring with Jimmie Vaughan in the mid 1990s he toured with Taj Mahal until 2002. A songwriter on his five mainly instrumental albums, Freeman lived again in Los Angeles from 1992 until 2004.[1] Freeman played with Bob Dylan's backing band between 2005 and 2009.[7] Dylan's album, Modern Times was recorded with Dylan's then touring band, including Freeman, Tony Garnier, George G. Receli, Stu Kimball, plus multi-instrumentalist Donnie Herron.[8] During a 2006 interview with Rolling Stone, Dylan spoke about his current band: Шаблон:Blockquote
