<![CDATA[RIP Freddie Salem (The Outlaws)]]> RIP Akron/Cleveland Guitar legend Freddie Salem (1953-2024)... Freddie was the lead guitarist of the band "The Outlaws" .. A southern rock style band that had hits with ~Ghost Riders in the Sky~ and ~Green Grass and High Tides~ , Both songs became rock anthems and were regularly played on Hard Rock stations across the US..
