Product Information
Hamilton Loomis does indeed go back to basics on his new album, which is his most personal and emotional effort to date. Gone are the double entendres for which Loomis is known; this time, his lyrics are direct, personal, and often autobiographical. The ›basics‹ theme runs through the entire CD, in its lyrics (›Prayer‹, ›Cloudy Day‹), single-chord progressions (›Sugar Baby‹, ›Looking Into A Dream‹), simple melodies (›Come And Get Me‹), and stripped-down instrumentation of guitar, bass and drums (›Reason‹, ›Getting So Big‹).
Still, Loomis's trademark deep-grooved funk and soulful blues-rock is definitely present. »I wanted this record to be more stripped-down. Even the CD jacket is black and white and pretty basic itself«, he says of the disc, which features songwriting collaborations with Grammy-award winning songwriter/ producer / bassist Tommy Sims, co-writer of Eric Clapton's ›Change the World.‹
Loomis' 2013 album ›Give It Back‹ showed his pay-it-forward attitude of passing on knowledge to young, up-and-coming musicians, just as his mentors (notably Houston's Joe Hughes, Johnny Copeland and rock icon Bo Diddley) once did for him. On Basics, Loomis continues the tradition by featuring several of his young protégées, and finishes the record with a jam session by some of his favourite Houston-area youngsters, whose ages range from 13 to 16.
