Between 1979 and 2016, Lonnie Knight performed on over fifty-eight albums for other artists, acting as producer or co-producer on eleven of those releases. He was sought after not only for his extraordinary acoustic and electric guitar work, but also for his added musical sweeteners on bass guitar, dobro, mandolin, percussion, and keyboards. In addition, he lent his vocal talents on duet tracks as well as background vocals.

We weren’t kidding about loving to hear from you if your name and project is not on the list above. The list reflects the information I’ve been able to gather since Lonnie died and I suspect it’s not at all complete. Thanks in advance for sharing your information – or that of other artists’ projects on which you believe Lonnie worked.
