Vanaf morgen, woensdag 23 april, is Canadees Scott Loomer met zijn band Loomer voor enkele optredens in Nederland.
Het debuut album Love Is A Dull Instrument is heruitgebracht en nu verkrijgbaar (Me & My Americana MMACD 1034). De pers over dit album:
"With Love Is a Dull Instrument Scott Loomer and company have fused the guitar lonesome of Son Volt with the lilting romanticism of The Jayhawks to blissful effect. One of the finest country rock albums of the year." Bob Klanac, Scene Magazine
An absolutely superb album. I think its fantastic! I like everything on it. Bob Harris, BBC
Alt.country of the highest quality. And we're talking about bands like Uncle Tupelo, Whiskeytown, and Richmond Fontaine. Bart Ebisch, Altcountry.nl
"This is one of those "where did these guys come from" records that once you hear it - commands serious attention, especially from those who lean towards the Whiskeytown/Wilco-meets-McGuinn/Parsons camp. These guys have roots, indeed, in Toronto`s own Saddletramps, as Andrew Lindsay, John DeHaas and Brian Duguay have evolved into Loomer around the extremely talented vocals of namesake Scott Loomer. And his masterful voice is a perfect foil to the wonderfully lazy, somewhat sloppy, country-fused accompaniment that graces the album`s 13 tracks! Aided and abetted by the perfectly-placed pedal steel of Jim Whitford, and some finely crafted harmonies, this record ambles along for almost an hour with enough pop sentiment to demand the success this union so richly deserves." - Exclaim
