Hudson Freeman came to my attention at the end of last year, when the Pitchfork critic-turned-music producer Nick Sylvester wrote about him in a Substack post called “This is the song I shared most last year.” Sylvester wrote about a “demo” version of Freeman’s song “If You Know Me” that went viral on Instagram, which is less a demo than a lo-fi live performance video shot in a Southern Indiana cornfield. “His guitar is hiked up high, and you can see the bottom three strings visibly vibrate when he strums them – perhaps because of some esoteric tuning, but either way it completes the hillbilly vibe,” Sylvester wrote.
