Blue Mesa

"There was something about Winslow-King's last album (2016's I'm Glad Trouble Don't Last Always) that just failed to spark for me. No such problems to report this time, I'm glad to say, as I think Blue Mesa might be his best offering to date ... For my money, it's the album's slower, gentler tracks that cut deepest (...) and it's hard to imagine any of them being sung and played better than they are here. I'll say it again: This may be his best record yet".

"Winslow-King soulfully explores a wide range of musical terrain from rock and jazz to country, soul and blues. His gruff vocals turn tender on the ballads, but he growls the blues on the funky blues-rock tunes. His vocals, though, ride the wave of his commanding guitar work, with its always-on-the-note clarity ... There's a raw beauty in every song on Blue Mesa; on this album, Winslow-King powerfully captures the jagged joys and ragged sorrows of life".
