Update: Those pictures of albums used to be linked to cdbaby, who no longer has an online store. In this time of no-in-person-gigs, if you want to buy an album or a song, I suggest one of the following options:
- go to itunes or your favorite portal for buying music digitally and do that;
- send me an email at loomispa@gmail.com and we’ll do this the old-fashioned way – you send me a check, I send you a CD! We’ll say $12 including postage (in the U.S.) for World Famous in Bloomsburg or Yuspe, $15 including postage for the now-hard-to-find (and not many left) Dry Ridge.
- try amazon marketplace or the like – I’ve seen a few copies floating around there.
There are three albums:
- World Famous in Bloomsburg, 2014. Produced and recorded by Jeremy dePrisco at Pepperhead Studios, formerly in Millville. Twenty-two songs about all sorts of things, with lots of friends and family helping out – Anna and Zeke sing and play some instruments, Jeremy dePrisco plays lots of bass and does other things, and there are guest appearances from Audra dePrisco (singing), Mike Hickey (guitar, mandolin, singing), Randy Moyer (guitar and singing), Safa Saracoglu (percussion), Erin Dietrick (violin), John Huckans (tuba and singing), and John Sweeney (harmonica).
- Yuspe, 2009. Recorded by Carl Chimi at his studio outside Benton. Twelve songs, partly about kids and growing up and travelling the world. Lots of help from David Fu on cello, and a rare banjo/cello/horn section track called What I Should’ve Written In Your Yearbook, 1987 with Scott & Jean Atherton and Bruce Candlish on trumpet, french horn, and tuba.
- Dry Ridge, 2004. The first one, on which I made every noise, recorded by young Bob Wilson in a basement outside Catawissa. The big hits have been Darth Vader Mask (the first song I played in public) and Anna’s Canon in B flat.
Or you could come to a show.
Or you could email me at loomispa@gmail.com.
Prefer itunes or any of that ilk? I’m there, too. Just look for Paul Loomis.
