Released October 21, 2008.
how
to order this cd
(available for download,
too)
This is a compilation CD, a two-for-one, if you will, of two previous albums, FIRELAKE
and SHORT STORIES. The cuts from those two
discs were remastered for this re-issue. All of those two albums (from 1990 and
1992 respectively) are here, except for 3 songs.
[Two of those three missing songs ("Hopelessly Midwestern"
& "The Preacher and the Flood") were recorded a-new for the album Retold,
released in early 2008. The third one missing here ("Rorate Coeli
Desuper") is an instrumental which can be found on my holiday album, How
Like The Holly.]
With Omnibus you have 19 tracks, mostly original songs. The songs range from spiritual to satirical, from playful to serious. Not overly "produced" but there are tasteful extra instruments beyond guitar and voice. Either Peter Dominguez or Joe Konkoly plays bass on most tracks.
