Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Albert King & the surfin blues

All of my albums are in storage and I bought the 2 record set back in the early
80's. I don't remember the label but I will find out for you. I believe all of
Lonnie's early albums are half vocal half instrumental, check out "The Wham of
that Memphis Man" and "From here to Fraterenity". The double record set that I
have is a compilation of his instrumentals from these and other early albums.

Lonnie Mack is a killer! His instumental stuff is darn near
unbeatable. Who put out the 2 record set of Lonnie's instrumentals?
I'd love to get my hands on that! I've seen Pete playing guitar with
the Nighthawks, and he's great. But to me, Thackery is untouchable.
Bugs Henderson (from Texas) is another blues-rock guy that does some
very respectable surf.

Lonnie's instrumentals, I wish he would release it on cd. I've
jammed with Pete Cannaris a couple of times at open mic blues nights
in Poughkeepsie NY. He replaced Thackery in the Nighthawks.
