Some Nice Things People Have Said
Longtime fans of Freebo (like me) won't be surprised by his ability to turn a collection of songs about dogs into a very moving and musical experience. Sure, anyone who's ever loved a pooch will embrace this one, but Dog People stands on its own musically and provides further proof that Feeebo has emerged as a master of his craft.

About Freebo
Freebo's success in rock'n’roll has been well documented over the years. From bass player/band member with Bonnie Raitt for a decade to countless studio sessions and tours with artists ranging from John Mayall, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Maria Muldaur and Ringo Starr, to T.V. appearances on Saturday Night Live, Midnight Special, and Muppets Tonight, as well as tuba performances with Dr. John and the legendary Spinal Tap, Freebo has achieved status and respect in a creative and highly competitive field.
Not satisfied with simply resting on his laurels as a top sideman, Freebo has continued to push his creative envelope, and now has evolved into an acclaimed singer/songwriter, with three well received solo CDs to his credit; 1999's The End Of The Beginning, 2002's Dog People (songs about the human/canine connection), and his new CD, Before The Separation.
Released in October 2005, Freebo's latest CD shows his complete arrival and comfort as a singer/songwriter, with thoughtful and insightful lyrics sung with soul and passion, framed by his acoustic guitar and signature fretless bass, and supported by tasty drums, electric guitar, and harmonica, played by some of rock music's finest musicians.
Freebo's songs span styles from folk, blues, and country to R&B, reggae, and rock 'n' roll, and incorporate themes of love, struggle, triumph, peace, and the journey of life.
His live performances, mainly on acoustic guitar, take you on a musical and lyrical ride. Freebo creates an intimate unity with his audience and will likely leave you with a tear in your eye, but with a smile on your face.

A Message From The Artist
Ever since I was a young boy, I have loved dogs - - really loved dogs. For some reason, they have always made me feel better. Maybe it was the joy they seemed to have when I didn't, or the constant love they were so free to give. I have come to believe that this unconditional love, acceptance of the moment, and joyful giving are qualities that we humans could do well to adopt.
All of the songs on this CD express the love between our canine friends and their people. It is the essence of this connection that I wish to honor on this record, a friendship between man and beast that often goes beyond human friendship, a friendship that is as old as mankind itself.
I therefore dedicate this CD to every dog, past and present, who has helped to make a better life for its people.
