R.I.P. Lonnie Mack

2016 is shaping up to be the year we say good bye to an amazing amount of talent. Lonnie Mack, as described on the cover of this Alligator Records album "The first and perhaps the last of the modern American roadhouse rockers. Mack on the loose...all fat rhythm chords, rumbling like a semi; vibrato rich solos building to screaming single note climaxes, and gorgeous, growly vocals that are a wonder to behold." I saw him many years ago at Buddy Guys Legends bar in Chicago, on my birthday, and it was a present I will never forget. Lonnie and his good friend Stevie Ray Vaughn are surely jamming and smiling. King of the Gibson Flying V
