Mark Gamsjager Rocks & The Lustre Kings Roll
The Lustre Kings. 12 traks.

The freshman effort by one of the east coast's most well-travelled rock-a-billy bands prompted guitarist/vocalist Gamsjager to call Bobbie for a real hands-on approach to the production of the artist's performances on this disk. Aside from producing, Bobbie also played guitar, six-string bass and lent vocal talent to this disk (some listed, some not). Bobbie was also involved in the sophomore release by The Lustre Kings, Once a King, Always a King.

Beneath the apocalyptic rain:
GhostRunner. 10 traks.

Something for the alternative spirit out there: written by Tim Livingston and arranged by Bobbie Van Detta. The purpose of this CD was to communicate Tim's vision of life in a world without rules during a future of which prophets have spoken and generations have wondered. The forms from which these "apocalyptic" anthems originated were so skeletal that Bobbie had free reign in creating the textures which characterize each brooding selection. Bobbie played all guitars, fretted and fretless bass, and all background vocals.
