At the intersection of Harry Smith’s Old Weird America and the songs of Heartworn Highways – you’ll find the music of Luke Callen – songs dripping with honest Midwest Charm and a Mischievous glint. His latest album – “Also Going Nowhere” – released on February 1st of 2024 is like a drink of water for those of us who crave something real and honest to listen to. The sonic palette pays homage to a whole plethora of elements endemic to the American music tradition without feeling derivative or landing too hard on any one side of the genre question.
