Never the typical baritone blues-man or the peace-voiced Donovan wannabe we often find, Lam managed to surprise us with the occasional well placed falsetto that got the crowd applauding his range. The best thing about Lam's attitude is his sense of humor. While performing some sad love songs he never fails to throw in a laugh-inducing lyric, or an aside to the audience that kept us laughing as if he were delivering a stand-up comedy act instead of a Folk Rock performance. I left that night after having shaken the man’s hand and having bought one of his CDs, Love Vs. The Brain. Quite a show! (For more on Richey Lam, or to catch him live, visit RicheyLam.com!)"
