Since the late 60s he recorded for many small local labels, and sometimes larger companies such as Checker. In 1967 he received a three-year prison sentence for a drugs offence. He ran his own label recording studio and club from time to time and recorded blues, gospel (he was known for a time as Reverend Mac Simmons) and soul. Among his artists were Otis Clay and Sunnyland Slim. His version of ‘Rainy Night In Georgia’, performed as a harmonica instrumental, was a local hit in the early 70s. He made a comeback in the 90s with a series of classic blues albums on the Electro-Fi label. Simmons lost his battle with cancer in October 2000." - Sensational Personnel for the Sextet Features Legendary Composer "Little" Mack Simmons on Harmonica and Vocals, the Great Hubert Sumlin & the Lonnie Brooks on Guitars, the Brilliant Willie Mabon on Piano, the Talented Dave Myers on Bass and the Amazing Fred Below on Drums! - Selections on Side A Are the Mack Simmons Penned Freight Train Arrives, the Little Walter Classic Sad Hours, Original Mac Simmons Composition You Mistreated Me, the Sonny Boy Williamson(II)Standard Help Me & the Mac Simmons Song I Sure Quit You - Tracks for Side B Consist of the Mack Simmons Penned So Unhappy, the Little Walter Classic Last Night, Willie Dixon's I Can't Quit You Baby, the Don Robey Standard Mother In Law Blues and the Little Walter Song Blue Lights - Used Copy, Cover Has a very Light Surface Ring, Record Mint- - French Import, Product Code 33.514 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
