hi lion
iam really sad to hear that this underatd musician and overlooked artist has died unbeknownst to many a fan of vintage jamaican music
i have a live recording from him that was recorded back in the 70's in a little venue i down't know where,but where he covers song like the wailers"long time we don't no friends","liquidator"etc... and some calypso and soul intrumental ballads.but i have never heard about this freedom blues you are talking about
i remeber also "death rides with a horse"
may his soul ret in peace
