Blood's Too Rich takes Luke's songwriting and his status as revered guitarist to the next level. From its 70's concert-poster inspired artwork to its luscious guitar solos and bluesy riffs, Blood is hi-fi meets high-ball, less jam-band and more The Band. This is the core of the rock and roll scene. It's a record that harkens back to his days fronting surf-noir trio, Veal, his youth spent admiring Neil Young, Howlin' Wolf and Stray Cats, one that retells his tales of living at the heart of Country � Nashville, TN, where he wrote the record in early 2007.
Produced by Luke himself, Blood's Too Rich features his band, The White Falcon, starring Rich Levesque on bass, Melissa McClelland on guitar/vocals, and a star-studded cast of characters including Paul Brennan, John Dinsmore, Chris Brown, Todor Kobakov, Bryden Baird, Lindy, Steve O'Connor, Glenn Milchem, Bazil Donovan, Jim Cuddy, Chris Stinger, Neville Quinlan, Chang, and his daughter Chloe Doucet-Winkelman. Additional production was provided by Ian Blurton and Colin Cripps, and the album was mixed by David Travers-Smith and Andre Wahl. Artwork by Lyle Bell of Whitey Houston and Shout Out Out Out Out.
