Jeffrey Frederick

Jeffrey Sutton Frederick (1950–1997) was a songwriter, guitarist, producer and performer specializing in good-time Americana music—an idiosyncratic blend of folk, country and rock and roll. He was a largely uncredited predecessor of today's alternative country music genre. Also notorious for his pranks, he was a prodigious songwriter, specializing in sly, hilarious and soulful pieces. He was the husband of Kathryn Frederick, the founder of Frederick Productions & Red Newt Records.
