Album: She's A Killer - www.paullamb.com/ Lyrics: Now let me tell you people about this Black Jack game.
It's only cost me trouble and I've only got myself to blame.
But hey, how unlucky can one man be…
Well, you see, every quarter I make,
you see the Black Jack just steals it away from me.
Well my friends don't come around me because I've been so blind.
I haven't got a nickel in my pocket and I've almost lost my crazy mind.
But hey, how unlucky can one man be…
Well, you see, every quarter I make,
you see Black Jack just steals it away from me.
So I sat down with two tens, and I thought I'd have myself a little fun.
But the dealer had sixteen with a five… just enough to make twenty-one.
But hey, how unlucky can one man be…
Well, you see, every quarter I make,
you see Black Jack just steals it away from me.

🎸Born 9 July 1955, Blyth, Northumberland, England. Lamb’s initial interest in blues came from listening to John Mayall’s records; he then discovered the music of Sonny Terry, in whose style he thoroughly immersed himself for 12 years. He played in folk clubs and in 1975 was successful in a harmonica championship held in Germany. Around 1980, he began playing amplified harmonica, initially in Walter Horton’s style, and as a member of the Blues Burglars he recorded for the Red Lightnin’ label in 1986.
Shortly afterwards, Lamb moved to London and formed his own band. In 1990, 1991 and 1992 Paul Lamb And The King Snakes were voted UK Blues Band of the Year, and Lamb himself received the Instrumentalist of the Year award which he won for a further five years, well into the 90s. The classic line-up of the King Snakes came together in 1992 and featured Martin Deegan (drums), Chad Strentz (vocal/guitar), Jim Mercer (bass), and the weathered-looking but highly accomplished guitarist John Whitehill (b. 11 February 1952, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England). Earlier members included Alan Savage and Daniel Strittmatter (drums), Dave Stevens (bass), and Johnny D. (vocals, guitar).
In 2018 the band includes Paul Lamb, Ryan Lamb, Chad Strentz, Rod Demick and drummer Mike Thorne.
