Product Details
Lonnie Mack's influence on electric guitar runs deeper than most casual fans realize. His 1963 instrumental version of "Wham!" introduced a raw, vibrato-drenched attack that echoed through decades of players, including a young kid in Texas who would grow up to become SRV. By the time these two finally shared a studio, it felt less like a collaboration and more like a reunion of musical bloodlines.
Stevie Ray Vaughan trades blistering riffs with Lonnie on "Double Whammy" and four other cuts on this 1985 LP-and that moment was a long time coming. The first record SRV ever bought was a Lonnie Mack LP; he and his hero co-produced this killer guitar album, which also includes "Hound Dog Man," "Satisfy Suzie," "Stop," "You Ain't Got Me," the title track and more!
