AIN'T JUST TEMPORARY
RELEASED
MAY 2007 on Blind Pig Records
-
(with Bo Diddley)
|

This is Hamilton's long-awaited second release on Blind Pig.
One highlight of the CD is "You Got To Wait", written by Hamilton
and Bo Diddley...the track also features Diddley's unmistakable
voice and trademark funky tremolo guitar. Hamilton teams up
with legendary Houston engineer Steve Ames for a dry, organic sound
on the CD. Hamilton also embraces technology, recording much
of the disc in his bedroom on his laptop computer. "I'm really
happy with the tones on the CD. There's no reverb, hardly any
compression or EQ -- I even did all the vocals through a Shure
SM-57. 'Less is more' was definitely the approach ..."
Known for his tasteful, powerful guitar work, Hamilton is one of the
most versatile young artists on the scene -- he features some fierce
harmonica on "Slow Lover", "Wait", and "That Thang", and even throws
in some flavorful piano & B-3 organ solos on "Good Enough" and "Love
Again". He plays almost all the instruments on the CD, even
drums on 6 of the tunes. And while his prowess is obvious from
instrument to instrument, his main focus is always the song.
"This CD isn't a talent show, it's about songs. I spent a lot
of time writing, arranging, and collaborating with a few other
wonderful writers on this project. Even though I covered a lot
of ground instrument-wise, I played what I felt would make the song
as strong as it could be -- I am a guitarist by trade, but there
were times when I felt the song needed a different texture besides
guitar. It was a real challenge for me to play most of the
instruments, but it was a blast!"

"If blues, soul, and rock can be said to form a
triangle, you'll find Loomis right in the center of it
... This energetic guitarist brings his grooves to
life with a tricked-out '75 Les Paul Custom ... "

Ellis, Guitar Player Magazine, Sep., 2003

"Loomis
... sings with soulful self-assurance ... As a guitarist the
versatile Loomis prefers the bright, jazzy tones of T-Bone Walker
and Gatemouth Brown, but he also brings out ferocious wah-wah
funk with authority."

'Kickin'
It'...is one of the best CDs of the year. This kid's got most
all of it and then some. The Texan is a singer/songwriter/guitarist/bandleader
and has movie star good looks. More than worth a listen.

"...What he has as an arsenal is a soulful voice which he
utilises over his impressive rock/blues guitar style ... so
strong and confident that it has your vote two bars in."
