Co-produced by Stevie Ray Vaughn, this was Lonnie's ticket back to the show after a few years on the sidelines. To say it was an inspired date would be putting it mildly. With his batteries recharged, Mack was in peak form, playing and singing better than ever. A major highlight is an inspired duet between Stevie and Lonnie on "Wham (Double Whammy)," going toe to toe for several exciting choruses. ~ Cub Koda

Recorded at Cedar Creek Recording, Austin, Texas. Includes liner notes by Ben Sandmel.

Personnel: Lonnie Mack (vocals, guitar); Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bill McIntosh (guitar);Stan Szelest (piano, keyboards); Tim Drummond (bass); Dennis O'Neal, Gene Lawson (drums); Lisa Gilkyson, Karen Kraft, Gwen Newsome (background vocals).

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars Wham Revisited
I grew up in central Ohio, where Wham and Chicken Picken were AM hits and Lonnie Mack hit us sort of like Jimi Hendrix, only three years earlier. Then he just dropped out of sight. We later learned that he went to work for Electra, played base on the Doors records and made some fat dumb and happy albums that nobody bought. Enter Stevie Ray Vaughn and Alligator records. According to these liner notes, Lonnie's 1964 Wham album was the first thing Stevie ever bought. No surprise. Thanks to Stevie, we got another excellent taste of the blues rock hero Lonnie Mack I grew up with. Wow.

Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs  (1989) Box Set

Strike Like Lightning album
CD $38.49  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts. Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson. Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate hits package, and including enough unreleased tracks and rarities to appeal to the band's most devoted fans. As a result, DREAMS is neither the definitive Allman Brothers collection nor the gift ...

The group's last fully succesful record, mixing soft, romantic sounds ("You Know Like I Know") dressed up in restrained, tasteful orchestrations with harder country sounds ("Homemade Wine"). "Fly Away Home" is probably the best rock number here, and also has room for some very pretty noodling on the mandolin. ~ Bruce Eder The group's last fully successful record, mixing soft, romantic sounds ("You Know Like I Know") dressed up in restrained, tasteful orchestrations with harder country sounds ("Homemade Wine").

A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune"). All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together on any of the cuts (Bloomfield played on one side of the original LP, Stills on the other), all three principals get off lots of good licks and producer Kooper has some interesting ...

Boogie Blues & Bounce - The Modern Recordings Vol. 2
Little Willie Littlefield Boogie Blues & Bounce - The Modern Recordings Vol. 2 CD  (2005) (Import) United Kingdom

Strike Like Lightning songs
CD $16.85
As the sequel to the previous Ace compilation Kat on the Keys, this gathers all the remaining singles that Little Willie Littlefield issued on Modern Records in the late '40s and early '50s. It also has eight previously unissued tracks -- most of them featuring only Littlefield's vocals and piano, without band accompaniment -- and a half dozen other recordings that were not issued while Littlefield was on Modern, surfacing for the first time on 1980's Ace LPs. Kat on the Keys is a better place to start a survey of Littlefield's Modern material, if only because it contains "It's Midnight (No Place to Go)," his sole hit for the label. This companion disc offers more secondary choices, and though it's still above average West Coast piano blues, there is a sameness to a high percentage of the cuts that limits its appeal to collectors of the style. The presence of some songs on which he drifts into a more melancholy, minor-flavored mood than many bluesmen, however, adds some welcome variety to a genre that ...
