From the expansive Western style of ‘No Other’ by Gene Clark to the next-door whisper of J.J. Cale’s ‘Naturally’ - DREADFUL FEELINGS is the debut solo album from Jake “Freeman” Dejongh. Freeman DeJongh is a folk and western songwriter who lives in the mountains of Idaho. The sounds and stories he arranges into harmonies and songs are reflections of the natural spaces within and around him. Freeman is a multi-instrumentalist whose curiosity is focused on interweaving the eerie silver sounds of his pedal steel guitar, the electric sparkles of stratocasters, the wooden hums of old time acoustics with the atmospheric drones of synthesizers. Freeman’s voice comes softly from the heart and he sings to share all of his love and sadness with you. The music he creates roams freely between many traditions of American music including folk, jazz, psychedelic and country and western.
