Great Mack Followup

"Lonnie Mack made a great followup record to a great record, "Strike Like Lightning." "Second Sight" continues the rich Mack tradition of hot licks, searing, bluesy, gospel-tinged vocals, and the history of a man who has lived long and hard. Songs like "Cincinnati Jail," "Camp Washington Chili," and "A Song I Haven't Sung" make this record enjoyable and compelling.



This is a great Mack record to add to "Lightning," "The Wham of That Memphis Man," and his many other great records.

Good outing not his best but still worthwhile

"Follow up to "Strike Like Lightning" does not have the same power but with the addition of horn lines has a different feel. That Lonnie mack vibrato is still all over the place as it should be. This disk ends with a showing of his Gospel roots with the sense of a man pouring out his soul for all to see and feel in the final cut "A Song I Haven't Sung". well now that it's been sung it needs to be repeated....and often."

Lonnie Mack CD

"This Second Sight and the Strike Like Lightning CDs were both delivered on time and as expected. Lonnie Mack is a premier guitarist whose fans included Stevie Ray Vaughan, who appears with him on the Strike Light Lightning CD. His first big hit was the instrumental of Chuck Berry's Memphis, which remains timeless."
