Debut Album
Luke Winslow-King's debut album marries people's music with elements of poetry and classical composition through his songs for strings, guitar and voice. The bold, yet graceful tone of his steel-bodied National Reso-Phonic guitar coupled with the traditional voicing of a string quartet is both rustic and elegant. The foundation of the album lies in the balance of fingerstyle guitar with violin, viola and cello, though supplementary instrumentation of bass, piano, Hammond organ and whistling are simple, elegant complements to these compositions. -Buy Now
