And another one tragically joins the “70 Club.”

Well, RIP.

Is he the same Outlaws guitarist that was spewing liberal talking points in the 70’s and 80’s?

And the other lead guitarist, Hughie Thomasson passed away a few years ago.

The Outlaws were my first "sober" concert back in '93 - everything sounded so much better on caffeine versus alcohol and dope.

Interesting fellow. Liked this from the interview:
RTJ: When did you join the Chambers Brothers Band?

Freddie Salem: I joined the Chambers Brothers in Los Angeles in 1973 after an audition at S.I.R studios. I was 19 years old at the time. I recorded and toured with the Brothers for a year and a half. Great learning experience at a young age.

Saw the Outlaws in Savannah,GA around 1976/77. They opened for Wet Willy and Marshal Tucker Band. Those were the good old days!

I saw Lynyrd Skynrd at Winterland , the Outlaws were the 2nd bill. They played two nights. The second night for an encore , the Outlaws joined LS on stage and they played T for Texas , it was a guitar army , no doubt about that.

Ah those were the days.
