C.W. Ayon (pronounced I-Own) is a New Mexico delta blues trailblazer. I know that sounds crazy, but thanks to Cooper Ayon the stark hill country blues of the Mississippi Delta have found a home in New Mexico. For C.W. this isn't an affected style worn simply for fashion, Coop is the genuine article, he's literally a one man crusader out to spread the gospel of blues.
In the past CW Ayon has been compared to the White Stripes or the Black Keys, that's no longer the case. With his latest album "Lohmador" Coop has gracefully come into his own style. The most pleasant surprise about CW's new album is that his vocals, often buried in the thump & growl of his previous albums, are in full effect.
In terms of studio production, "Lohmador" really hits the bull's eye. The mix on "Lohmador" really favors Coop's strengths while, mitigating the repetitive tendencies so common in the "one man band" genre. The result is a sublimely textured musical document that flows with a fluidity rarely found in the aforementioned musical tradition.

CW Ayon may call the Southwestern deserts of New Mexico home but his soul is deeply rooted in the Blues and grooves of the Mississippi Hill Country. With a rather simple kick/snare and tambourine setup he lays down solid beats while picking out some catchy hooks on anything from acoustic to resonator guitars. Sometimes dropping in a bit of harmonica for good measure. All the while building a sound and playing style that is deceptively larger than it seems.
