Just got a message that guitarist extraordinaire Fred Carter Jr. has passed away. Fred was one of Nashville's finest guitarists who had a great ear, great style and a understanding of the guitar like none other I've met. I am proud to have written songs with him, fished with him and known him. He was the father of Deana Carter (Strawberry Wine) and son Jeff. A very musical family, an extreme talent and will be sorely missed.
