Paul Lamb started playing the harmonica during his childhood, inspired by Sonny Terry, and he was fortunate to meet and collaborate with him after beginning to perform in clubs by the age of fifteen. Lamb also played alongside his heroes such as Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, and Brownie McGhee. He formed the Blues Burglars with guitarist Johnny Whitehill in the early 1980s, a formation that eventually became Paul Lamb & the King Snakes. They released an eponymous album with Ace Records in 1990, followed by several others, each building both Lamb’s personal reputation as a harmonica player and the band’s prestige. He was awarded with the British Blues Connection’s annual award for the best local harmonica player several years in a row whilst the King Snakes frequently took the title as best band.

As a consequence, his own harmonica skills have been in demand, and he had a hit in 1994 in the UK Singles Chart with the track, ’Harmonica Man’ (under the pseudonym of Bravado) with Pete Waterman. Lamb has also worked with Mark Knopfler, The Who, Rod Stewart and Jimmy Nail, played on BBC and film soundtracks, and various television commercials in the UK. He is also inducted into the British Blues Awards Hall Of Fame. ---picanetherlands.com

“Son, just play what you feel, and feel what you play”... Sonny Terry

This was Sonny talking to Paul in 1977, guiding Paul to become the great performer & player he is today ......in many ways unknowingly, inspiring his new album.

This latest album has developed over numerous drop-in sessions at The Trench Studios ,which is owned by producer and musician Paula Riordan. Paula has collaborated with Paul on many of his great recordings. Recordings which include the pop hit “Harmonica Man” from 1994, up to and including the award winning “Hole in the Wall” album from 2014.

With Paul and the King Snakes being regular visitors to The Trench, it came as no surprise, that one night Paula got a phone call … “ just finished a gig nearby & we’re on our way to you”.

As you would expect with 5 musicians, 1 producer and various instruments, something is bound to happen. What started out as a friendly late night jam was, through Paula’s forethought, recorded for posterity. During that first impromptu, unrehearsed session, several tracks were recorded with various members of the band contributing late into the night, as and when the mood took them. Later Paula reviewed the session and found that there were, as Paul would say “killer tracks" and a decision was made to lay down some more, over the coming months.

It was felt by both Paul and Paula that all the tracks should be recorded in the same simple but effective way, to capture the raw sound like the first session, as an unrehearsed jam. Over the next few months’ several more of these late night sessions followed. Very little post production was applied, just enough to clean up the odd rough edge, you may still hear the occasional click, crackle or clink but none of this detracts from the feeling, the atmosphere and the spontaneity of the music.

This is what makes the new album so special, "it is, as it was" just 5 great blues players, playing what they feel. No long protracted studio sessions, it is a raw, natural and organic Blues album. This album is for the purist and the avid Paul Lamb fan, along with enough great tunes to attract new listeners to the Blues. Some wonderful, impulsive and improvised recordings, back to the roots of Country Blues, effortless but enthralling songs, played by celebrated musicians, simply having a great time. –cdbaby.com
