My Take

Freebo, born Daniel Friedberg, is exactly the kind of musician I love to champion, the indispensable craftsman behind the famous names. His fretless bass with Bonnie Raitt in the 1970s gave that music its singing, fluid bottom end, and his sessions with Ringo Starr and Aaron Neville place him deep inside rock history without the spotlight. I find something admirable in a Swarthmore-educated player who chose to serve the song rather than chase fame. That he still tours and writes as a solo singer-songwriter tells me his motivation was always the music itself. Sidemen like Freebo are the quiet backbone of records we treasure.
