I'm Glad Trouble Don't Last Always - CDOn Im Glad Trouble Dont Last Always, his fifth album and third for Bloodshot Records, Luke Winslow King draws from a deep, dark creative well, turning heartbreak and divorce into an inspired soundtrack for picking up the pieces. Electric and sentimentally raw, the album is part sonic travelogue, part handbook on navigating the stages of grief. It pulses through LWKs geographical stomping grounds, starting with the pre war jive of New Orleans,

pop and rock

second-line ramble in “Act Like You Love Me”)

Listening to Luke Winslow-King’s third full-length album is like taking a stroll through the artist’s adopted home of New Orleans

and the howl of Winslow-King’s bottleneck slide guitar

Last Night I Dreamed My Birthday

“You better come inside for the coming tide

mixed by Colin DuPuis

and Meschiya Lake

The album-closer is a pleasantly unexpected

part handbook on navigating the stages of grief

it takes a right for an infusion of greasy Chicago blues

With crisp guitar lines evoking Mike Campbell
