Your A-List: Best Band with six members or more
The ’60s sound of Hwy 90, from San Antonio to New Orleans, is still very much alive according to A-list voters who’ve chosen Larry Lange and His Lonely Knights as the best Austin band with six or more members. Prince’s favorite Austin band Grupo Fantasma came in second. A longtime bassist for Delbert McClinton and others, Lange made a move on the horn-laden Gulf Coast soul concept about three years ago and he and the Knights have had folks slowdancing and juking to Sunny and the Sunliners, Cookie and the Cupcakes and the like ever since.
