Lonnie MACK - Attack of the Killer V, Live 1990


Lonnie MACK - Attack of the Killer V, Live 1990
Recorded live at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn, Illinois on December 14-16, 1989.

Blues

All songs written or co-written by Lonnie Mack except for "Riding The Blinds" (Nix) and "I Found A Love" (Pickett, West & Scofield).

Full Descriptionappreciative throng at FitzGerald's in suburban Chicago, Mack cuts loose the way he so often does in concert, sticking almost exclusively to his Alligator-era tunes ("Satisfy Suzie," "Cincinnati Jail," the tortured soul ballad "Stop") and never looking too far backwards.

In 1990, Mack returned to Alligator to record a live blues-rock album, Attack of the Killer V, featuring two extended guitar solos and expanded renditions of earlier studio recordings. From one review: "This disc has everything that a great live album should have: a great talent on stage, an exciting performance from that talent, a responsive crowd and excellent sound quality...This is what live blues is all about!"

Lonnie MACK - Roadhouses & Dance Halls 2001


Lonnie MACK - Roadhouses & Dance Halls 2001

Blues

Lonnie Mack's locomotive, whammy-crazed guitar has been a genre-transcending musical treasure since his rambling instrumental version of "Memphis" was released back in 1963. After buying one of the first Gibson Flying V's ever made, Mack honed his craft as a session-man for such big names as James Brown and Freddie King. He went on to release the single "Memphis" and a series of critically praised but commercially unsuccessful records featuring his monstrous guitar capabilities and a countrified, grizzly vocal style. The Mack's guitar playing is a dynamic mixture of bluesy soul, Rockabilly stomp and blazing, barely-in-control speed, and it certainly influenced Stevie Ray Vaughan's everything-but-the-kitchen-sink showmanship. Just about every student of the guitar has heard his name; unfortunately few are familiar with his generation-spanning influence.
