The second 33rpm release from the band R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders [1], aptly titled R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders Number 2[2], was later retitled Chasin' Rainbows[3] in re-release on CD (Shanachie 6002, 1993 - ASIN: B000000DSO) from Shanachie Records[4]. The album features cover art drawn by comic artist and front-man Robert Crumb[5]. With Crumb on vocals and banjo, Allan Dodge on mandolin, violin, ukulele and vocals, Robert E. Armstrong on guitar, accordion, banjo, saw and vocals, Terry Zwigoff[6], who later produced the documentary Crumb[7], on cello, the album was subtitled, "Persian Rug, Crying My Blues Away, Moana March and Other Favorites." Originally released on Blue Goose Records[[8]] in 1976, this record became a collectible not only for the whimsical string band renditions of and reminiscent of of early 20th century music, but for the cover art.
