The band have a new album out on 28th May 2012, named “The Games People Play”. The album is dedicated to Iverson Minter AKA “Louisiana Red”, who sadly died on February 25, 2012. Paul recalls Red as “…one of the greatest and most beloved traditional blues artists. A great friend and a true gentleman of the Blues.”
- Paul ….. “the whisky in Scotland went down just fine, 3 great live shows and a classic recording in the bag”
- Dino ….. “the bread & cheese in Switzerland was FABULOUS and all the Jazz greats have played there”
- Ryan …. “Carlisle was the best for me”
- Rod … “I only tuned up twice in the whole month, can you tell ?”
- Chad ….. “one takes… that’s what I like”
Moving on to (hopefully) safer ground, the Blues Matters Blogger asked the band to identify their favourite tracks from the album and to explain why. This showed that this is a band of much music but few words, and here is what they said:
Paul …… “Track 6. “ The one for me is “Easy” the Big Walter classic. I just had to do it.”
Rod ….. “Track 3. “Come to the conclusion”, a one chord boogie, I just love it.”
Chad … “Track 5. “Depressing Recession”, it’s a reminder of the times we live in.”
Dino … “Track 7. “Black Jack Game”, give me soma ya money honey.”
Ryan …. “Track 1. “Fulsom Prison”, I always like a bit of Cash.”
“The Games People Play” will be available on Amazon, iTunes & at www.paullamb.com. The band have asked the Blues Matters Blogger to pass on “a big thank you, to all the fans that came along and made each night memorable.”
