Bio
........ ...... J.D. "CAST" KING 1926 - 2007 ...... Cast King “Saw Mill Man” – review press____________________________ "On these country laments & murder ballads, he's so starkly matter-of-fact about life's slights that it chills" - Spin........................................................................................................... "This is unregenerate country music at its most intense" - Playboy....................................................................................................... "You won't hear a better, more honest country record this year" – Harp Magazine..................................................................................................... "King’s deep, weathered baritone carries so much emotional weight in each note that this record is heavier than any metal."DetroitMetroTimes................................................................................. "A killer discovery." - Now Toronto................................................................ "The best hard dawn country music you'll hear" - Stop Smiling Magazine....................................................................................................... “…remarkable: honest, timeless, often wryly witty and occasionally sad or tender. Beautifully observed songwriting and a warm, rich voice.” - MOJO........................................................................................................... “….some of the most honest, refreshingly under-produced country music released.” – Rib Magazine............................................................................................................. “3 stars out of 5 -- With able assistance from electric guitarist Matt Downer, he gives a little piece of himself in each of a dozen ballads...” Down Beat Magazine ____________________________________________________________ -

I'm very sorry to hear about Mr. King's passing. My condolences to all of his family and friends.
The world is so fortunate that he recorded some of his intensely soulful music during his lifetime. I'm thankful that he can continue to grace my turntable.
God bless,
