Details:
Freddy Koella is a native of France, Mulhouse. He plays guitar and violin. He has toured with Zachary Richard, Cookie Dingler (France), Doctor John, Johnny Adams, Willy Deville, and Bob Dylan. Freddy Koella is best known for being one of the most original guitar players Bob Dylan has ever had. Milton Hall of “Step Out of the Line” News described him like this:
“Koella is to guitar what Bob Dylan is to lyrics. I’ve seen B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Keith Richards, and none of them would be able to shame Koella in phrasing, feeling, or imagination. Koella’s playing was beyond the usual blues/rock scope, having more in common with jazz virtuosos like Grant Green” (Milton Hall, Atlanta, GA, May 2004).
Freddy just released his first solo album, titled "Minimal." It''s an acoustic guitar instrumental. He explains, “After touring with Bob Dylan in 2003 and 2004, I finally felt ready to do my own recording. So I decided to set up some high-end recording equipment at my house and started recording myself whenever the mood was right. I recorded mostly at night. No overdubs, processing or editing was done to the music, which was recorded direct to stereo. It was mastered by Gavin Lurssen at Mastering Lab.”
Freddy''s production credits include "Le Nouveau Monde" (Richard Gilly 2000), Kenny Edwards (Kenny Edwards 2002), and "Miracle Mule" (The Subdudes 2004). He has also played on numerous albums.
