The Wham of That Memphis Man, Lonnie Mack's first album, was recorded between March and November 1963 and was released by the small Cincinnati label Fraternity Records in early 1964.
Mack is considered a founder of the virtuoso blues-rock guitar genre and known for his fast-paced instrumentals. One of these, "Memphis", was released as a single in early 1963 and rose to #4 on Billboard's R&B charts and #5 on Billboard's Pop charts in June of that year. Another, "Wham!", was released as a single later in 1963 and rose to #24 on Billboard's Pop charts. Both of these recordings are found here. The album also includes several vocal tracks, done primarily in a gospel style for which Mack became well-known.
