"Lamb mixes pop, classic rock and Americana, and comes through with one quality tune after another. Every year it seems that I come across a singer-songwriter who makes a great 'Ryan Adams' album. Of course I am speaking of the Ryan Adams of 'Gold' and 'Heartbreaker' and this year it is Shane Lamb." -Absolutepowerpop

"This is an album of solid roots rock that is easy to enjoy. A strong suite of songs with highs, lows and inbetweens.. Great band. What's not to like?" Americana-UK

"WOW! Shane Lamb's debut is truly one of the best alt. country/pop releleases we've heard this year!" KoolKatMusik

"Shane's influences (Neil Young, Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan and Tom Petty) are not worn on his sleeve, but in his heart. Indeed this is where artistry should be sheltered. The alt-rock sounds reminded me of the record 'Tomorrow the Green Grass' by the Jayhawks. 'Free', with it's uplifting melody and rolling lyrics remind me of Neil Young's folk rock a la 'After the Goldrush' but with a contemporary sound. It's the haunting beauty and the uneasy directness of the title track 'disengage' that makes this good album a great one. This album embodies the kind of rock that embraces all the things great about American folk music: love, freedom and the hunger for something else. I highly recommend this album for those who are obsessed with Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, The Jayhawks, Wilco and Neil Young. This album will not let you down." -Michael Morgan, Review You

"Songwriting wise, Lamb is a blend between Petty and Dylan-not too sparse, not too wordy but able to make his point amid very heartfelt statements and slice-of-life lyrics bolstered with melodies that stick. As a vocaloist, Lamb has a reedy tenor which serves his tales well. To me, the most surprising aspect of this entire album is the decision to call the album 'disengage.' For me, Lamb's music is so engaging, there is no way I would want to separate myself from it. The eye for miniscule detail is there. The ability to craft a clever line. The melodic sense and the ability to make each word meaningful are all evident in Lamb's music and bode well for his success in the music business."-Scott Homewood, the Rock n Roll Report.

"Much like Petty and his cautious optimism, even in the murky darkness, Lamb is ever looking for the light. With it's overt soul elements, Memphis sounds also come to mind. And Lamb's pop songwriting further makes us think about classic rock inspirations. It's hard not to be encouraged by Lamb's utter determination. When he advises, 'You follow your dreams like tail lights in storm', you realize he's suggesting that dreaming is by no means a passive activity. Instead you need to stay tailgate close to your dreams or they will get away from you and leave you lost. Such perserverence turns 'disengage' into a truly engaging effort." -Dan MacIntosh, Ariepublicity

"Disengage" is a release to take serious note of and let seep into your soul and warm the depths of any troubles that may need some music to salve any wounds. Exactly what great music should stand and deliver upon." -NotLameMusic


"The production vision on this record is top-notch. The artists vision was accurately perceived, developed, encouraged and captured to best advantage." -Michael Ososki

"Lamb's 'disengage' release has a very intimate feel to it. Shane Lamb's ability to write songs of various topics, plus the musical ability of Lamb and the musicians who appeared on the release, give the album that feeling of variety that you seldom get from today's releases. From the opening track 'disengage' keeps the listener interested for the entire length of the record. So when someone like Shane Lamb comes along with his new CD 'disengage', it reminds us all that there are still writers who want to create an album of music and not just put together songs that fill out a certain style." - Matheson Kamin
