About Cast King

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 ____________________________________________________________

Mitch	Dec 15 2007 3:21 AM It is very sad that Cast's talents went largely unnoticed until such a late age. But I guess thats what a legacy makes? I feel like I didnt get enough time with him, and he definitely didnt leave us with enough tunes. We will miss him dearly!

Chris Just	Dec 13 2007 10:27 AM I'm really sorry to hear the news. I'm a broke musician, but I'll donate what I can. My very best regards to Cast and his family, Chris
Matt Texter	Dec 13 2007 1:18 AM Cast, what a writer. Thanks for the great songs and thank you Locust music for such a great album. I hope that you, Cast, are surrounded by your family, peace and joy this holiday season. I know that this is a hard time for everyone in your family, and I know it is even harder for you, BUT through all the fear and hard times we know that there is something even better for us when we leave this old world. You and your family are in my prayers. If and when the Lord does call you home, give my little sister, Valerie, a hug and tell her it won't be long until we'll meet again. God bless.

Hammerhead Fred	Dec 12 2007 10:14 PM Cast King should be famous. He's as good as Johnny Cash and Charlie Feathers.

Russell Gulley	May 10 2007 1:48 PM Morning Cast, Thanks for the add. As you know I'm always a fan and appreciate the heritage that you represent for us here in NE Alabama. Saw Mill Man is great! See you soon. Russell Gulley
C Joynes	Apr 16 2007 9:40 AM Dear Mr. King: Respeckt to yore True and Accurate recording voudou. None other. Meantime, the lines of the Old Sand Mountain / Histon axis have been little explored by psychogeographers and others in the heritage industry. We (me-thee) should exploit this further. You should check the Fens: dark soil; birdlife; bleak stretches of inland water. You would like it. Bon Chance anon
Red Clay River	Apr 5 2007 9:48 PM love your stuff brother, if you ever get up this way, let us know!!
The Lip Service	Feb 15 2007 9:51 PM Love your music man, shame more people in the world don't get a chance to hear you
