LONNIE MACK: Roadhouses & Dance Halls
-
Artist:

Album:
LONNIE MACK IS ROCK'S GREAT LOST guitar hero. The Wham of That Memphis Man - the Indiana singer, guitarist and songwriter's 1963 landmark album - made room for everything from ferocious rock to straight blues to sorrowful country, and Mack's impassioned, daring soul crying proved he could bend and twist notes with his voce as well as he could with his guitar. "Roadhouses and Dance Halls" is the third album Mack has recorded since he regained his form, and it may be the pick of the lot. With strong support from his touring band, as well as fellow guitar virtuoso David Lindley on slide and Muscle Shoals masters Barry Beckett and Roger Hawkins, Mack convinces at every turn. Much of the writing is semiautobiographical: the frankly rocking "Too Rock For Country, Too Country For Rock and Roll" aptly describes Mack's career dilemma. At forty-seven, Mack remains a fiery player and a compelling singer and bandleader, immune to trends and ready to play hard.
