Paul Lamb & The King Snakes – Hyping Woman (1990)

Voted UK Blues album of the year 1991.

Recorded in the autumn of 1989 this was the debut album of the newly formed Paul Lamb & the King Snakes. The songs were all covers but certainly show the undoubted brilliance of Paul’s harp playing, combined with the band’s great technical skills & tight performances. This set the standard for blues bands for years to come.

The band was also voted the Best UK blues band in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1997 & 1998.
