No Frills is roots music, fingerpicked country blues, bottleneck slide on a 1931 National and blues mandolin. There's gritty, traditional style acoustic blues (Alla My Money, Boom Boom, Headache Blues); stories of everyday people that never seem to get it (Set You Free) or that need a break from their lives to find some excitement even if it leads to murder (Make Her Smile)! Then there are glimpses into the lives of those that not only accept but really love their little everyday worlds (The Night Away) or that seek a friendly place when mama kicks you out of house (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 Garageband.com since early 2004, receiving over 100 reviews from enthusiastic reviewers all over the world.

Hey guy...been talking to Mike via phone..nice to hear him. We don't get to talk often but this was a good one...here...a new video I did..on an old reel mono tape in 1982 with a piece of junk CB microphone..I over lade the video the past few days...but we are essentially lip'ing..
Saturday the 7th at the Alberta. Ambience and good taste await the discerning cohort.
P.S.: We're still hanging at number 66 at The Songs Of Our Times. It's worth a visit.
Hey Loren!
My tune "Shoot The Angels Down" is at spot No. 138 on Neil Young's Songs of the Times. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
