MP3 Loren Schulte - No Frills
10 MP3 Songs
BLUES: Acoustic Blues, FOLK: Folk Blues
Details:
“No Frills” is roots music steeped in fingerpicked country blues guitar, bottleneck slidin’ on a vintage steel National and blues mandolin set in sparse acoustic arrangements. There’s gritty, traditional style blues (“Alla My Money”, “Boom Boom”, “Headache Blues”). There are stories of everyday people that never seem to “get it” (“Set You Free”) or that need to break free of their mundane existence and find some excitement even if it leads to murder (“Make Her Smile”). Then there are slice-of-life stories of those that not only accept but really love their little cosmic world (“The Night Away”) or that seek refuge from the occasional marital storms (“Baja Room”).
In this all-solo recording, Loren wrote, arranged, performed, recorded and produced all of the tracks. The song “Boom Boom” from this CD has been in the All-time Blues Top 10 on https://www.tradebit.com since early 2004, receiving over 100 reviews from enthusiastic reviewers all over the world.
About Loren…
Currently residing in Battle Ground, Washington just across the big river from Portland, Oregon; he played guitar, bass and mandolin throughout the latter half of the 70’s in a country rock band in bars all over the Cleveland, Ohio area. Then, inspired initially by the music of Ry Cooder and Jorma Kaukonen (with Hot Tuna), he focused on the country blues and fingerstyle blues guitar. That led to delving more deeply into the history of the blues and learning more about the early masters such as Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Sleepy John Estes, Reverend Gary Davis, the mandolin of Yank Rachell and many, many more.
These days he’s mainly a solo acoustic performer and luthier, producing many of the guitars and mandolins with which he performs.
