Feel free to re-post the SoundCloud link (https://soundcloud.com/bloodshot-records/you-dont-know-better-than-me) on Facebook, Twitter, etc. or embed it using the share button. We will also be launching a promotional MP3 download – the album’s first single – around mid-March.

Winslow-King’s Bloodshot debut The Coming Tide will be widely released on April 23. Leading up to the release date, Luke and the band – which most often includes singer/washboard player Esther Rose, bassist Cassidy Holden, and trumpet/piano player Ben Polcer – will tour from their home state of Louisiana through Austin for SXSW and up into the Midwest. You can see the collected tour dates as well as additional post-release shows HERE.

Recorded at Piety Street Studios in New Orleans, The Coming Tide brings together Winslow-King’s formal music education with a street-busking resilience, a proficiency on bottleneck slide guitar, the featured vocals (and washboard playing) of Esther Rose, and a cast of A-plus local players. The result is a vibrant amalgam of early 20th century jazz, Delta blues, American folksong, and Southern gospel.
