In Memory of Lonnie Mack. 1941-2016

While largely over shadowed by the death of Prince the same day it is important to remember Lonnie. I first heard of him through Stevie Ray Vaughan who was heavily influenced by him. Mack is credited with helping to create the blues-rock genre. I don't think he got the credit he deserved for his contributions to blues and rock 'n' roll. Below is his pioneering album The Wham of that Memphis Man!
