Mac Davis, the country singer-songwriter who wrote several hits for Elvis Presley, has died following heart surgery, his manager Jim Morey confirmed. He was 78. Davis was also a prolific actor: In addition to starring in various TV specials, he had his own show, The Mac Davis Show, from 1974 to 1976.
Steve Cropper said this afternoon: “Today the world has lost a super talent. His music will live forever but there will never be another MAC DAVIS. Mac, God bless you where ever you are.”

Roots-music trio Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band adds a fourth member in Dom Flemons for a high-octane cover of “Shake Your Money Maker.” The musicians convened at Sun Records Studio in Memphis in late 2019 to re-create the Elmore James blues standard, which they had first performed together as a jam at the Blues Music Awards earlier that year. It’s a particularly fierce take, with a guitar assist from Stax Records icon Steve Cropper and Scot Sutherland on bass.

So sorry to hear about our good friend Charlie Daniels passing. We have jammed in the past and Angel and I both played in many of his charity tournaments. He was such a great musician and player.
