  • Knoxville News Sentinel 2008 Johnny Mack – Nothing but the Blues
    Johnny Mack program nothing but the blues By Marlene Taylor [email protected] Sunday, November 23, 2008 Marlene Taylor/Special to the News Sentinel John McCormack on the air as Johnny Mack, WDVX-FM’s Friday night blues man. To say that Johnny Mack's got the blues may be the understatement of the year. Johnny Mack (a.k.a., John McCormack) hosts Knoxville's WDVX weekly program Johnny Mack's Friday Night Blues Attack!, and each program is a crash course in American-born blues music. "I couldn't have asked for anybody else to do this show," says WDVX General Manager and Program Director Tony Lawson. "John has so much knowledge and is so passionate about the blues. He receives phone calls and e-mails from all over the world." The alias Johnny Mack is befitting for McCormack. After all, real bluesmen nearly always have a nickname like Professor Longhair (Henry Byrd), Muddy Waters (McKinley Morganfield), or Howlin' Wolf (Chester Burnett). The six-hour show is aptly named because it ignites both the air and the cyberspace of the World Wide Web, broad-siding listeners with the rarest, rawest and most riveting blues the deejay can find. It runs from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Matt Morelock, host and producer of the popular Blue Plate Special, feels the same. "Johnny's program provides the broadest selection of blues imaginable, from the earliest known blues recordings to contemporary and futuristic …and all points in between." A native of blues-rich St.Louis, Mo, McCormack was introduced to the blues at an early age.
