Luke Winslow-King

Blue Mesa Luke Winslow-King

**Luke Winslow-King**’s latest album is an example of craftsmanship at the highest level, radiating a warmth and timeless elegance. Adept at mixing Country, Blues, R&B, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and Folk influences intuitively and masterfully, Luke shapes a mood from many sources and shepherds it to a unifying place of acceptance and hope. The recent travels around the globe have left their mark too, as Winslow-King musically leaves his beloved New Orleans with delicate touches of *Paul Simon* and *Robert Cray* and dynamic stabs of *Stax*-inflected Soul and psychedelic swamp Boogie. *'Blue Mesa'* is both stately and approachable, manifestly proficient but deeply personal.
