Stevie Ray Vaughan with Lonnie Mack - Oreo Cookie Blues

[@the12thwoman]

This is my cousin, Lonnie Mack aka Lonnie Mctintosh. Cousin, I love you! This song I've seen you do it many times live, but not like this with the MASTER. Stevie Ray, we miss you son!

[@scottnjess1928]

I've smiled every single time I've seen or heard this, my respect to him and his. Blessed

How sweet! Lonnie Mack was an idol of Stevie’s. I’m so happy for you that you had memories with Mr. Mack. I’m an SRV fan (more than that - his music helped me and my kids through a difficult bunch of of years) I only today learned about the enormous influence Mr. Mack had on Stevie. I should have known. This video is beyond sweet. I am a full on SRV loyalist and I am trying to discover who influenced him (beyond Wikipedia and such nonsense) I know Lonnie Mack, but I never read about the connection. SRV idolized Ronnie Mack. I miss Stevie Ray Vaughan. As my kids called him, “Stevie Rayon.” We also listened and sand to Ella Fitzgerald. They called her “Elephant Gerald.” Stevie Rayon and Elephant Gerald got my girls and I through very rough times. Thank you, Mr. Mack, for being such a huge influence on the magic that was and is Stevie Ray Vaughan. Forever indebted to you for inspiring this amazing human being. Thank you.

Sherry Baker, I guess that would mean you are also familiar with Lonnie's brother Billy Mack? I got to know Billy and play guitars with him in the last years of his life before he sadly passed on. Billy told me some great stories about Lonnie and also a little about Stevie. i remember him telling me that he wrote (or co-wrote) this particular song Oreo Cookie Blues. I am a bit of a music history student, self taught, and Billy seems to have managed to be nearly impossible to dig up any information on Billy Mack during my internet searching. according to his stories, all these other very famous guitarists like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Paige and Jeff Beck all were influenced by Lonnie Mack and i want to connect these dots. did no one ever record a video with the Lonnie and Billy playing together? i feel like it is a mystery i am trying to unravel the threads so i can connect the dots. i don't really care about the fame part, i want to see them playing the guitars and watch the fingers!!

[@larrymcguire9686]

Hello Sherry, I notice that you made your comment 7 years ago, before your cousin died. I want to send my condolences to you about your cousin passing away a couple of years later.

[@alexkuhel4078]

Not sure if anyone will see this anymore, but to provide some history on this song....my old friend Mike Wilkerson wrote it. He played it for us at backyard BBQs and it was the crown jewel of his music career (where he would get occasional gigs and commercial voice overs). Mike sold the song rights to Lonnie Mack probably in the early 1980s. Mike died in 2019 of Parkinson's. God watch over his soul.

[@bbb8997]

do you have a recording of it ?

[@tonyr.4778]

Thanks for the story. It is so important to have the stories and history preserved.

[@latouselatrec]

Amen brother

[@hellodragonkitty]

Really love this song; the silliness of it combined with some serious blues.

[@ReadingtheBibleforever]

Oh wow your right I just looked it up it says both wrote it.

[@glennbowker7403]

I just love the way Stevie is smiling through this and digging Lonnie's vibe. You can se these two legends are so in sync

[@sooz9433]

Stevie Ray and Lonnie Mack are still getting likes and comments... greatness never dies. 🎼🖤

[@susanhobach5706]

Stevie was definitely having a blast. He has never smiled that much playing any song. That was for sure a fun song and I'm sure he was smiling because he was playing with Lonnie

[@drbluzer]

This is the first time that I have seen LONNIE MACK and STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN playing acoustic guitars !! By the way , this is a cool song !

[@rumpledskin7971]

Lonnie Mack and Stevie Ray Vaughan play this on acoustics in LM's album: "Strike Like Lightning "(1985), co-produced by SRV.

[@Truckerdaddy]

Man the things you can sing about in blues will never not amaze me lmao

[@flanneldaddy5220]

Love seeing Stevie happy like this with the ppl that inspired him

[@mymusicroom1]

I sure wish Stevie would have played acoustic guitar more.

[@jordangordan8980]

Me too.

[@oldgrannywheels]

Perhaps he would have ;(

[@elisabethvalade9866]

I think he wld have!! Too soon gone. 🌹🌟🎵

[@fadeskywards1245]

I love how Stevie was smiling and chuckling the whole time ❤

[@pacificcoastpiper3949]

It’s literally about cookies. Wouldn’t you?😅

[@philsto]

I love how Stevie always adapts his playing the guys playing with him and how he backtracks smoothly so he makes the others shine.

[@jackanything]

the other in this case shines by himself

[@gravecruiser5062]

RIP Lonnie..You were a true pioneer..2 greats gone but not forgotten..

[@GoodGollyGonzo]

Oh man this is too cool.. look at Stevie! He's cracking up like a little kid!

[@bassjumpblues3631]

Oreo cookies are religion to Lonnie's taste buds. Lonnie is the kind to offer you a few as well. He is the absolute host and treats his opening acts with total respect and happy to jam with anyone he shares the evening with. His wife carole will be in the audience and invite guests back stage and everybody gets a shout out for making him the man he is. very humble...

[@shawnwright5332]

👍🇨🇦

[@Guitcad1]

Just when I think I've seen every bit of video of SRV that exists! And certainly heard every one of his rare acoustic performances. Well, maybe now I have. [4 minutes later] OMG! He's playing acoustic with a slide! This has to be the only example of that!

[@noobicore6859]

A dream performance for any guitar and blues loving fan !

[@AmadoValdes-d6w]

Awesome 👌 miss Stevie 😢💐 🌹 🎸

You can just feel thru the music how much srv just adored Mack and that big ol smile while playing such a fun and light natured song before a live audience.

θοδωρης μετζελος​ Awesome, wish I was around in his time to have seen him live and definitely wish he was still here. Cause then I'd be going to his shows when he he'd play here. I've got 4 posters , My dad saw him here in Utah at the old fair grounds Oct 9, 1985.

[@BlastinAdrian]

I'm with ya

[@icarus6712]

Just think about it ! A blues song about Oreo Cookie Addiction ! Can't get crazier, can it ?? But with Lonnie and Stevie playing, it works. It just works !! Thank you, both.

[@Old-Skull.]

really you think they sing about cookies ?

[@latouselatrec]

@@Old-Skull. yes

[@bluesfun]

Wow. Very very rare performance of Stevie on acoustic.

[@bbb8997]

really nice to see stevie ray play an acoustic guitar, he was a true gentleman & you know he is elated to play with one of his idols. his smile exudes the "I'm not worthy".his sense of what came before him is what made his success become possible. as the old bluegrass song goes, "don't get above your raisin' & he never did" I especially liked his duet with dick dale on pipeline in the back to the beach movie. Lonnie played my favorite bass lines ever on the doors classic "Roadhouse Blues" rip to 2 music legends 🎸🎸

[@user-lh5hm7kb3y]

Lonnie Mack_ Another great artist SRV introduced me too. Respect brothers :)

[@TomLongusa]

Always loved this song! What a treat to watch them playing it! RIP...SRV!

[@ednaatluxton4918]

It's funny how in Texas,a country music state back when, the blues stars like Lonnie werent as well known north. Im a blues fan especially the now departed legends and guitarists, yet this is the first time Ive seen Lonnie. Ive seen some well known, Buddy Guy still being a live favourite of mine, and I still go to blues clubs, but nobody sings Lonnie's songs or mentions him.

[@robgrubbs7264]

RIP Lonnie Mack

[@noobicore6859]

+ Rob Grubbs Amen. Though Stevie went on to international fame, it's hardcore blues pioneers like Lonnie Mack who set the stage for such talents.

[@K131399]

wow thats crazy! as im sure you know stevie grew up listening to lonnie and the things he took from lonnie were a huge part of that thing that made stevie, stevie. when he played the slow stuff it was all albert, freddie and buddy were there in the mid tempos and shuffles, but when he played the stuff as his brother would say "like he was breaking out of jail" it was all lonnie mack! and "falling back in love with you" and "stop" are clear demonstrations of the hugeness of his talent

I don’t recall the year, ‘84-‘86 timeline, scored free tickets from Q102 in Dallas to see SRV live. Lonnie Mack was the warm up act. First stop on the way home was the record store to get LM’s “Strike Like Lighting” album. Still have it and still play it occasionally.
