Luke Winslow-King - Everlasting Arms - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2013 debut from the guitarist, singer and songwriter best known for his slide guitar work, and interest in prewar Blues and traditional Jazz. Winslow-King's work consists of an eclectic mix, taking in Delta Folk music, classical composition, Ragtime, and Rock 'n' Roll; juxtaposing original songs with those from a bygone era. LWK, originally from Cadillac, Michigan, moved to New Orleans by chance in 2001. During a decade in New Orleans, he has collaborated with a revered list of local musicians, including John Boutte, Washboard Chaz Leary, and Paul Sanchez. Performing years of weekly gigs on Frenchmen Street, LWK has honed his sound and earned respect as leader among the young traditionalists.

Luke Winslow-King's' 2018 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. Blue Mesa is both stately and approachable, manifestly proficient but deeply personal.

He had one of the hugest voices he always had one of the hottest bands he wrote many of the key songs he was the king, all right, and here are 2 CDs of his best! Includes I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man; I Can't Be Satisfied; Rollin' Stone; Long Distance Call; Rollin' & Tumblin'; Sugar Sweet; Honey Bee; Mannish Boy; Baby Please Don't Go; I'm Ready; Mad Love; Gypsy Woman, and more.
