Luke Winslow-King, “Blue Mesa”(Bloodshot Records)- Michigan born singer, songwriter and slide guitarist Luke Winslow-King approaches his work rather like a 21st century version of Ry Cooder, absorbing influences as diverse as Delta Blues, jazz, ragtime and folk to create a heady musical hybrid which provides a refreshing antidote to the uninspired corporate fare which tends to dominate the musical landscape these days. Luke’s latest Bloodshot CD ,”Blue Mesa,” was captured for posterity at a small studio in the Tuscan fortress village of Lari and should be required listening for roots music devotees everywhere.
