Lonnie Mack (born Lonnie McIntosh, 18 July 1941, Dearborn County, Indiana) is a rock and blues guitarist/vocalist. In the early 1960s, he recorded several full-length rock guitar instrumentals strongly grounded in the blues, the best-known of which are "Memphis", "Wham!", "Chicken Pickin'" and "Suzie-Q". Mack's instrumentals from this period set a new standard of virtuosity for a generation of rock guitarists and formed the leading edge of the "blues-rock" guitar genre. In 1979, music historian Richard T. Pinnell, Ph. D., described 1963's "Memphis" as "a milestone of early rock guitar". In 1980, Guitar World magazine ranked "Memphis" No. 1 among the "Landmark" guitar recordings of the Rock era. Mack is also known for the emotional intensity of his early "blue-eyed soul" ballads. In 1992, citing both Mack's vocals and his guitar solos, music critic Jimmy Guterman ranked Mack's first album, 1963's The Wham of that Memphis Man!, No. 16 in his book The 100 Best Rock 'n' Roll Records of All Time. Mack released numerous singles and thirteen original albums between 1963 and 1990 and was most active as a blues-rock performer during the 1960s and the latter half of the 1980s.
