FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES ROCK 'N' ROLL LONNIE MACK By JON PARELES Published: July 14, 1985 A SET of first-class roadhouse rock turned into a celebrity event when the Rolling Stones guitarists Keith Richard and Ron Wood joined Lonnie Mack on Thursday at the Lone Star Cafe, 61 Fifth Avenue. Mr. Mack has been making records for more than two decades; much of his set was drawn from his new album, ''Strike Like Lightning.'' And 22 years after he had a top 10 hit with an instrumental version of Chuck Berry's ''Memphis,'' Mr. Mack's high, wailing guitar solos are still clear and to the point. Although Mr. Mack can play every finger-twisting blues guitar lick, he doesn't show off; for most songs, he comes up with sustained melodies and uses fast licks only at an emotional peak. Mr. Mack is also a thoroughly convincing singer, whether his lyrics are boasting or hurting. When the two Rolling Stones joined Mr. Mack, it was a rare chance to hear a jam session without idle display. Mr. Richard showed his distinctive sawed-off phrases and terse, bent chords, as Mr. Wood added slide-guitar descants. Celebrity didn't matter; the blues did. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9500E0D61738F937A25754C0A963948260 |
