Excellent compilation of mostly a whole musical career devoted to blues, first with The Blues Burglars and, for about twenty years, leading The King Snakes Paul Lamb is a first class harmonica player, one of these classic blowers with an advanced high technical level These two cds prove it He also runs through his whole faultless career, which can also be an endless source of knowledge and practical exercises perfect for harmonica learning beginners or intermediate learners Thirty-seven splendid songs to listen again and again until your cd player until smoke pours out of it You will also find a bunch of good British blues musicians along both cds So, get cracking and enjoy with traditional blues coming from one of the best European representatives of original Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson and Walter Horton For the second album, Paul has decided to do an acoustic one to get closer to the rural blues played by his masters I think it was an idea he had on mind for a long time before recording and publishing it To do it, he has selected a singer, guitar player and good friend Johnny Dickinson, who had already worked with The King Snakes at the end of the eighties and beginning of the nineties The results is an interesting twelve song album recorded ‘live’ in studio, including versions coming from Furry Lewis, Big Bill Broonzy, Tampa Red, Gary Davis or Kokomo Arnold among other So, can we ask for more?
