Asleep in the Back.

My Mum used to play this song while I slept in the back of our station wagon on long country journeys. I was always fascinated by the album cover images cos I was amazed at how such a big burly hairy man like Lonnie Mack could make such sweet, sensitive music. He looks so pensive and reflective wedged up in that tree...but if you could see past the soft-focus close-up I'm sure his t-shirt was stained with whiskey and tomato sauce...I was a deep 5 year old, and I was drawn to his vulnerability...and imposing stature.
