Summary

This week on Time Signatures with Jim Ervin, Erv welcomes one of the new members of the next generation of the Blues, Sean “Mack” McDonald. Sean’s brand new album is called, “Have Mercy!” and is on the Little Village Foundation label-an album which has been nominated for the 2026 BMAs, by the way. Sean stopped in to discuss the album. He and Erv also talk about his early foundations in the genre, those three guitars gifted to him by Greaseland Studio owner and musician, Kid Andersen, and that phone call from the legendary Taj Mahal.
