    Winslow-King's accompanists on Blue Mesa deliver strong work that complements the songs beautifully, especially guitarist Roberto Luti, keyboard man Mike Lynch, and drummer Chris Davis. Blue Mesa may find Luke Winslow-King going through some changes, but the result is some of his very best music to date.

    Blue Mesa's lyrics are tenderhearted and frequently soft-spoken but profess an honest emotionality. The delicacy is magnified by the attacking guitar that also supports the melodic line. This contrast between the guitar and vocals is exemplary of Winslow-King's Delta blues influence and Blue Mesa's unmistakable musicality.

    On Blue Mesa, Luke Winslow-King reflects on his strengths, weaknesses and need to keep moving with the lyrical and musical integrity of a heartbroken journeyman who understands, believes in and respects the road ahead and behind.
