Paul Andrew Ulysses Lamb was born in Detroit and raised on the streets of an east side community known as Harper Woods. At age three, his father bought him a Jimi Hendrix album for his birthday. It changed his life forever. Absorbing the music of artists like Hendrix, Johnny Winter, and Johnny Cash, P-A-U-L’s dream of making a career out of music slowly started taking shape. After high school, P-A-U-L caught the first bus to Hollywood. He began hanging out in the scene and became educated by some of the West Coast’s most notorious rock stars. With his self-taught guitar skills, soulful rock voice, and desire to play music wherever and whenever he could, P-A-U-L hit the road. He hasn’t stopped touring since. Tough city soul meets raw earthy blues is the perfect description for his sophomore release 'Gunshot Lullaby'. P-A-U-L and Eric Hoegemeyer teamed up to co-engineer and produce the new album, while Al Sutton created the final mixes. The tracks were recorded live at Rustbelt Studios, with Eric Hoegemeyer on drums, Paul Randolph on Bass, and Charles Weldon Hughes on Keys. This host of exceptional players lends to the sonic authenticity of the true Detroit Sound. As both backdrop and centerpiece, Angelica Moross, Layla Hall, Elizabeth Fornal and Celeste Rose sing backing melodies which are reminiscent of church and street. P-A-U-L delivers whiskey drenched vocals and six string prowess all of which seem to be preached from a bar room pulpit. This collection of songs, this memoir, is an attempt to convey a life time in a forgotten city.
