“Hamilton's got da funk of the Queen of the Gulf Coast New Orleans, the sweat of good ol' boy Texas boogie, the soul of up the river Memphis, and the smooth sophistication of big city NY.  There's something to live shows that drive, and Loomis's got that along with plenty of funk, soul, blues & groove.

-- FullMoonBlues.com

 

“Hamilton Loomis has taken the best Blues, Rock and Soul, offering songs with deep roots in the history of these musical styles, but with that necessary innovative sound to give them continuity, renewal and life.  [Hamilton is] a Texan artist that is revolutionary in showing us how to feel the best Soul and Rhythm & Blues.”

-- Lux Atenea Webzine, SPAIN

 

“This cat is the real deal, a multi-instrumentalist playing harmonica and guitar here, and is an absolutely outstanding vocalist.  From jazzy funk to Texas shuffles he always brings the smoldering heat.”

-- Malcolm Kennedy, Washington Blues Society

 

“What’s soulful, smooth as silk, yet more powerful than a locomotive with a full head of steam?  Try Hamilton Loomis on for size.  Loomis’ live recording, recorded in Oxford and Liverpool with absolutely no overdubs, is one of the best, most powerful live recordings I’ve heard in ages…great orchestration with strong horns, immaculate guitar work, a rhythm section tighter than Fort Knox.

-- Bill Wilson, Billtown Blues

 

"[Loomis] has perfect vocal phrasing for this one, translating between the on-time horns and his strategically lagged guitar.  That tremendous strength continues, making New Orleans, Harlem, Detroit, Philadelphia, Memphis and Loomisville all extremely welcome in our ears."

-- Arthur Shuey, Blues On Stage

 

"Ain't Just Temporary" is chock full of great licks, fine vocals, grooves that ooze soul, and lyrics that harken back to the Golden Era of Soul."

-- John Heidt, Vintage Guitar Magazine

  1. "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."

  6. '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.
