The Wham of That Memphis Man is a 1964 album by Lonnie Mack.
This album, Mack's first, 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, for his fast-paced instrumentals, "Memphis" and "Wham!". The first 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. "Wham" was released as a single later in 1963, and rose to #24 on Billboard's Pop charts. Both of these recordings are found on the album.
The album also included several Mack vocals, done primarily in a gospel style for which Mack became well-known.
The album has been re-released at least nine times, most recently on the Ace label in 2006. It is also currently available (along with 23 other Mack recordings from the early 1960s) on the Flying V record label as the two-volume set "Direct Hits and Close Calls".
