R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders Number 2 is the second 33⅓ rpm album by the retrostring bandR. Crumb & His Cheap Suit Serenaders[2][3] and its subtitle was "Persian Rug, Crying My Blues Away, Moana March and Other Favorites". The album was later retitled Chasin' Rainbows[4] in re-release on CD (Shanachie 6002, 1993 - ASIN: B000000DSO) from Shanachie Records.[5] The band's personnel includes Robert Crumb on lead vocal and banjo, Allan Dodge on mandolin, violin, ukulele and vocals, Robert Armstrong on guitars, accordion, banjo, musical saw and vocals, Terry Zwigoff,[6] who later produced the documentary Crumb,[7] on cello. Originally released on Blue Goose Records in 1976, this record became a collectible not only for the whimsical string band renditions of and reminiscent of the early 20th century music, but for the cover art drawn by the band's frontman and well-known comics artistRobert Crumb.[8]
↑ Although the Cheap Suit Serenaders liner notes credit Mike Mosiello as the composer, the original issue of this song - released on Grey Gull 4278 - credits Mosiello's fellow musician Andy Sannella.
