Review by Joan Piqueras

Harmonica Man: The Paul Lamb Anthology 1986-2002 – A Blues Journey Worth Taking Alright, let’s talk about Harmonica Man: The Paul Lamb Anthology 1986-2002. If you’re into blues with a raw edge and harmonica riffs that feel like they’re straight outta some smoky juke joint, this is your jam. Paul Lamb & The King Snakes bring the heat on this collection, which spans nearly two decades of their work in electric blues and harmonica-heavy tunes. Released in 2003 via Castle Music (yep, from the US), it’s kinda like a greatest hits album but way more personal—like flipping through an old photo album where every track tells its own story. First off, I gotta shout out “I’m Going Down (Live at the 100 Club, 14 May 2002).” This one? Absolute banger. It’s got that live energy that just grabs you by the collar and pulls you into the room. You can almost smell the beer-soaked floors and hear the crowd hollering along. Paul’s harp playing here is next-level; he doesn’t just play notes—he makes ‘em scream. There’s something about how loose yet tight the band sounds—it’s polished without being overdone, ya know? Like, they’re not trying too hard to impress anyone, but damn if they don’t anyway. Another standout for me is “Don’t Lose Your Cool (Live).” Man, this tune has swagger for days. The groove is so smooth it feels like sliding into your favorite pair of worn-in jeans. And those guitar licks? Chef’s kiss. What really sticks with me though is how Paul delivers the lyrics—it’s like he’s giving you life advice while also reminding you to chill out and enjoy the moment. Plus, there’s this little break halfway through where everything drops except the drums, and then BAM! They come back in full force. Gives me goosebumps every time. Now, sure, there are plenty of other tracks worth mentioning—“Texas Boogie (Live Version)” gets people moving, and “Whoop and Holler” lives up to its name—but what I love most about this anthology is how it showcases Paul Lamb’s versatility. One minute he’s ripping through uptempo boogies, and the next he’s laying down slow-burners that hit you right in the feels. But honestly? Listening to this album feels less like reviewing music and more like hanging out with an old friend who knows exactly what stories to tell. It’s messy in all the best ways—kinda like real life. And hey, isn’t that what blues is all about? Oh, random thought: If this album were a person, it’d probably have a whiskey glass permanently glued to its hand and a harmonica tucked into its back pocket. Just saying.
