Winslow-King is "Glad" about "Trouble"
Wednesday, July 6, 2016 – New Orleans-based musician Luke Winslow-King will combine his roots, blues and jazzy sounds on his third Bloodshot Records release, "I'm Glad Trouble Don't Last Always," coming Sept. 30.
Winslow-King also covers sounds of New Orleans, Delta blues, Memphis R&B and Chicago blues.
Winslow-King wrote and recorded while he and his newly formed band were on a 2015 summer tour in Italy (and later finished in New Orleans's Parlor Studios, mixed by Colin DuPuis, engineer for the Black Keys) and during a period of heartbreak and divorce.
Through nine songs, Winslow-King stylistically offers a rock growl on "Louisiana Blues" a cowboy country campfire ballad "Heartsick Blues" with fiddle from Matt Rhody, the Petty-inflected "Change Your Mind."
The band consists of Italian guitarist Roberto Luti, drummer Benji Bohannon, electric bassist Brennan Andes and keyboardist Mike Lynch.
The disc will be Winslow-King's fifth overall.

From gospel to jazz to acoustic Delta blues to ragtime, the sounds of New Orleans ...
Hailing from Cadillac, Mich., singer, songwriter, and guitarist Winslow-King has lived in New Orleans since 2001. Since living in the Big Easy, he's collaborated with a number of local musicians from John Boutte and "Washboard" Chaz Leary to Paul Sanchez. On this new album, he and his partner, singer/washboardist Esther Rose, deliver an electrifying blend of the sultry, dark, and celebratory rhythms of ragtime, jazz, blues, gospel, country and rock-and-roll that they've ...
