Singer and songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos, New Mexico, the son of a Portuguese-Spanish father and an Irish-Scottish mother. He fell under the influence of country blues early on, and then moved to classic modern singer/songwriters like Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, and John Prine, as well as folk-based rockers like Tom Petty and Neil Young, honing his songwriting skills and developing a style that melded all of his influences but was still uniquely his. Gomez released a debut album, the Jeff Trott-produced Rule the World, on New West Records in 2013. After touring steadily following the release of his debut, Gomez paired with producer Jim Scott for the 2017 EP Me & Joe.

Three years after his debut album, Max Gomez is back with Me & Joe, a smooth and sparkly five-song EP that promises a newfound eclecticism from the New Mexico songwriter. Gomez delivers his latest batch of songs with an easy twang that arrives at the halfway point between tender folk balladry of Kris Kristofferson and the pop melodicism of Coldplay's Chris Martin.

On "Sweet Cruel World," the 29 year-old singer works a convincing blues pastiche, after strumming the heartsick blues on the folk-pop crooner "Make It Me." "If you love somebody, baby," he sings on that song with a yearning desperation, "make it me." Produced by Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco, Kathleen Edwards) and rounded out by a group of session pros and veteran co-writers including roots-ace Greg Leisz and Memphis legend Keith Sykes, Me & Joe is a free-flowing sampler of roots-pop that touches on blues, folk, melancholy rock and campfire-pop with touchstones that range from Ramblin' Jack Elliott to Jack Johnson
