Denny Freeman and The Cobras - Denny Freeman and The Cobras (1991) reposted

                                                                  Denny Freeman
 This Dallas native and Austin fixture was co-lead guitarist in the Cobras with Stevie Vaughan, before joining Angela Strehli (cutting two solo LPs during his stint with the songstress), contributing to Big Guitars from Texas, and recording with Lou Ann Barton. More original and out-on-a-limb than most textbook-blues players, he co-wrote "Baboom/Mama Said" on the Vaughan Brothers' Family Style and played guitar and piano on tour with Jimmie Vaughan following the latter's Strange Pleasure.

These guys were the hottest thing around Austin prior to the "Thunderbirds"(circa 1976). It would get six stars if Paul Ray were singing. A good example of the live music, outside of the "Cosmic Cowboy" scene, that helped develop Stevie and Jimmy. Good live recording showcasing Denny Freeman and Joe Sublet. Wished there were more recordings of this band. 

Recorded live at the "Continental" club Austin, Texas, on January 26th, 1981 by the ex co-lead guitarist in Cobras with SRV, & Antone's house band member, Denny Freeman. This is a great soul/blues/R&B album from a very underrated musician and his band. Listen to Denny's "Out of the Blue" album
