Winslow-King and an all-star cast of blues, roots, and world music greats, including Roberto Luti, and Charles Hodges (Al Green), cut his seventh full length record, If These Walls Could Talk in Memphis, TN. His alchemical songs blend contemporary ideas with styles from bygone eras producing a sound that is rustic and urbane, elegant and entirely his own. His work is an eclectic mix that combines Mississippi delta blues, folk music, traditional jazz, and roots rock & roll. Luke Winslow-King is a New Orleans-based guitarist, singer, producer, and songwriter. Rust Belt Broken Heart is out now, on American Standard Time Records. You can catch Ryan and his band out on the road week in and week out bringing their unique brand of high desert country blues to the dives and haunts of the great American West and beyond.

He’s bounced almost seamlessly from folk and bluegrass to rockabilly, blues, and vintage rock n’ roll. ![]() Over the last decade, Ryan Curtis has made a name for himself as a songwriter not easily packaged into any specific genre. ![]()
