Live In England - Hamilton Loomis

'What's soulful, smooth as silk, yet more powerful than a locomotive with a full head of steam? Is it Superman? Try Hamilton Loomis on for size. A first-rate Soul/Blues artist and a top-notch performer, Loomis' live recording, recorded in Oxford and Liverpool with absolutely no overdubs, is one of the best, most powerful live recording I've heard in ages. Loomis gets directly to the heart of the matter, great orchestration with strong horns, immaculate guitar work, a rhythm section tighter than Fort Knox and a handle on the situation the common man finds himself in. Loomis gets the job done with power, authority and more than just a touch of class. ' -- Bill Wilson, editor Billtown Blues Notes 'Released without any touch-ups or overdubs, Live in England serves as a fine career summation for Loomis and his talented cohorts. The cuts crackle with extra energy and excitement. And Loomis once again proves that he is a rare performer, able to captivate an audience while offering a new perspective on the blues tradition.' -- Mark Thompson, Crossroads Blues Society 'An actual sidekick of late period Bo Diddley, [Loomis is] famous for the way he genre splices rock and more into real blues and serves it up hot for contemporary ears. One of the cats that is doing more than just talking about bringing the blues into the future, here we find him tearing it up in England. A first class road warrior, he once again makes a package you can be proud to bring home and display for curious ears far and wide.' -- Midwest Record Recap.
