During this time 

Lou Kaplan signed as the bass player to tour across the country and record for legendary blues rockers “Savoy Brown”.  After a long successful run with “Mad Jack” Lou continued his journey fronting both the classic rock band Last Train Out and the outlaw country outfit Lonesome Crow while releasing his ninth and tenth CD’s respectively.
