Sounds Like
The high energy Blues of Johnny Winter, and Buddy Guy, with a dash of the wacky side of Danny Gatton. My acoustic shows are reminiscent John Hammond, or the acoustic guitar playing of Johnny Winter, or Rory Gallagher. When working with harmonicist, Dover Cooper, we're often compared to Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.
"Tim is not only a great soloist, but a really good singer. Most importantly, he is an astute listener, and he always puts the music first, ahead of ego gratification or showing off. I really can't say enough good things about Tim's musicianship and legit blues chops and feeling".
Alan Paul
Senior Editor Guitar World
hello myspace friend ! i recently wrote a tune and created a slide show to accompany it. if you have 7 minutes, please give it a view/listen. if you like it, please consider sharing it with others. thank you.
Here is a photo of Tim on my chopper, it looked like a 750 Honda but had a big bore kit 850 cc, plus 11 to 1 compression pistons, HP cam, heat treatd and lightened crank, high performance rocker arms, special springs, 2 into 1 scavenger exhaust and ported & polished intake and tons more stuff. it would simply EAT 900 Kawasaki's lunch and breakfast too. Tim looked good on it uh? LOVE YOU & MISS YOU BRO Tony
My Brother Tim When he was just 3 years old my mom took him next door to visit a neighbor lady. A few minutes later they heard someone pecking out tunes on a little toy piano, it was little Timmy. We knew then that Tim was musicaly gifted. For Christmas when he was just 5 years old my parents got him his first real guitar. Tim played and played and played, Dad showed him some notes and chords and Tim practiced and played until his fingers bleed and then he played some more, hell I think he slept with the thing. Then one day we realized hey this kid is pretty good. Next thing Dad started taking him to some of his shows and introduced him to his friends and band members and Tim loved the night life. Though I think my Mom wanted him to play for her church that didn't seem to work. At an early age Tim got into blues and he never looked back. Tim & mine's Mother died in 1995 and our Father died in 1999, Tim's wife died in 2004 that made me and his brother Terry Lamb his next of kin. I never thought in a million years about getting a phone call 7 AM that Tim had passed away, and that I would be making an emergency trip to Michigan to pay for his funeral and cremation, but I did. I love you Brother and I miss you EVER SINGLE DAY, I think about you every day. And I am left with the question WHY? Why you? Why not me? You were only 48 years old, hell I'm 60 Why not me? I am left with a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I truely am living the blues now. I love you Brother, I always have and I always will. Your Brother Tony Lamb

Timothy Jon Lamb, you have no idea how much I miss talking to you. You were such a kind soul who listened with no judgement but always with good advice. This town is surely missing your talents. I hope you are jamming with the greats: SRV, Jimi, Terry Kath ( a fellow Tele slayer).

The Tim Lamb Benefit is this Sunday, August 16 at Davison Eagle Club!!! Lots of great music for a cause dear to all our hearts. Come out and let your love-light shine for Tim's kids. Music starts at 2pm.
This is Alan Paul from Guitar world. I met Tim through the GW message boards years ago. He was an active and very helpful member of the community, as he was up here.
Eventually, we hooked up at the Otisville Hotel and I jammed with him and the Buick City Blues Band many times. They are truly some of my finest musical memories. And the confidence I gained from performing tim and his group really pushed me and helped me reach a new level with my music.
I am tremendously saddened on every level about this loss. Tim was a great guy and a fantastic guitarist. I can't say enough about the warmth and kindness and true soul he radiated on stage.
I miss him terribly and feel truly like the world is a smaller place without him. I will be in touch with Argentucky and want to help his family any way I can.
Tim was a great musician, and a beautiful human being. I am so glad that I had the pleasure of knowing him, and he will be sadly missed. God bless Tim, and his family!
What a night... I'm sure Tim had front-row seats in Heaven and was so jazzed about how many stellar Blues players came out to show respect for him and his music. I think Tim was a humble man that may have never realized the impact he had on people and the music world. He packed the Roadhouse with family, friends and musicians that were all there to celebrate Tims life. Larry McCray & Band, Dave Gerow, Greg Stamm, Lester Hambone, Heather & Don Jones, Big Al & Gary Ellis from Broken Arrow, Eddie Barney, John King from Argentucky Blues, Danny McCree, Kenny, Barry Forester, Bill Harlow, Mike Huber, Serbrina, Gary Stillwagon, Doctor Guitar, Kerry Clark, Fido, and many more all worked the stage to make it a night to remember! Be it short, Tims life was well-lived and touched so many. He has left a footprint on all our hearts. There is a plan in the works to have another benefit at Greg Stamms where Tim jammed with so many musicians for so long. And there is a benefit set at the Eagles Club in Davison on August 16th at 2pm. BLUES people sure to take care of one another!!! Yea Baby! Jones'N will pick up the open mic at The Roadhouse every Tuesday night.
You all have a great time tonight. I'll be raising one in memory of Tim from here in California. He could flat out play ... but moreso I'm a better man for knowing him. God bless his family. I'll be jamming with you on the other side, Tim.
Benefit for Tim Lamb TONIGHT at The Roadhouse in Flint. This was Tim's weekly open mic.."Lambs Jam". There will be a load of Great Blues players coming to pay their respect. Come early... there's bound to be a crowd. There are funeral costs and his children to consider...Contributions will be appreciated.
3336 W Pasadena Ave Flint, MI 48504-2330 (810) 732-5311
Has anyone secured a bank account that would hold contributions for Tim's kids? I'm concerned...it needs to be tracked. We would like to be of help with this but are a bit confused in whom is actually organizing these benefits and what is needed at this time. I do know that we all want to 'get it right' for Tim. Deb & Skip Dewley
I did not know Tim personally, but he did often contact me via MySpace and we talked about gear. He was a big fan of my JD10 pedal.
I just want to wish his kids the very best of luck... such difficult circumstances with the previous loss of their Mother too. But if I know true family bonds, then the kids will be taken good care of, whatever their age.
I am so sorry that I will not hear from him again. It is soooo sad.
I can say i was honered to know you. you are a very talented guitar player and you will be soo missed i was so glad that we had been keeping n touch even tho i moved. love to the kids i used to babysit them, i know they were tims world. may god look over them.
We are saddened by the news of Tim's passing. His family is in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do please let us know. If our time and talents are needed for a tribute or fund raiser please feel free to let us know. Bill Harwell BIG Bill & the Blues Ambassadors
Timmy, my brother this just isn't fair, I have been a screwed up mess for 2 days now and it still doesn't seem real. We have known each other since high skool and we had kick ass blues group that people were freaking out about how far out the music was. Every gig we did we never played a song the same way twice it was an adventure every time. Charles, Johnny Mac and Ronnie miss you so much my brother, you and your family are in their thoughts too.
***ATENTION***ATENTION***
To all of Tim's friends "Argentucky Blues" is going to be holding a fund raiser benefit for Tim's children which is tentative for August 16th at the Eagles Club in Davison from 2:00PM until Midnight. This should be confirmed in about a week. Please check out our website at www.argentuckyblues.com for updates. We are going to have several bands and many friends sitting in too. If you are interested in participating or playing at this event please contact me at argentuckyblues@gmail.com
Timmy was sooooo looking forward to playing the "I Chews The Blues" festival too, the day of his death we had an interview with the Flint Journal and Tim was so proud to be a member of Argentucky Blues he couldn't wait until August 1st got here because "He had an agenda" Tim said, little did I know that was the last time I would see him. We are still going to be playing our time slot but we will be using several of Tim's friends on guitar as a tribute so DO NOT miss it.
Peace my brother and God Speed,
P.S. Tell Billy Preston I said hi... oh and SRV too...
