Post 774 - The Keith Lamb Story 1977/1982

 

Keith Lamb is an English-born Australian musician who was the lead singer and founding member of the 1970s glam rock band, Hush. He had been singing since the age of 10 years old, fronting English bands including Mr. Toad, The Case and Sleepy Talk. Mr. Toad supported UK acts including the Who and the Equals.Lamb emigrated to Australia in 1970 with his school friend, Hush guitarist Robin Jackson.Lamb co-wrote Hush's music with guitarist Les Gock. He was one of Australia's better known front men of the 1970s, along with Bon Scott. On the passing of Scott, Lamb was considered as a replacement.Lamb lived for performing and was heartbroken when Hush split up. He went on to produce the work of bands Airport, Larry, and the Keith Lamb Band, but none had the commercial success of Hush. Lamb also wrote songs for other artists and bands. With Alan Lancaster of Status Quo, Lamb cowrote several songs for Status Quo between 1979 and 1983, including the top ten hits "Ol' Rag Blues", "Over the Edge", and "I Want the World to Know". In this collection you get the two Lamb's singles for Wizard the one and only single for "Larry" and the three "Airport" singles. Thanks again Henry DeRooy for the art to go with this post. Flac
