King – a 2009 Grammy Awards entrant nominee in the Contemporary Blues category for his Under The Sun release – was recently in the news for “The Phil Spector Incident,” his movie remake of the high-profile Phil Spector trial that also includes a ten-song companion soundtrack (“Live On”)
with a stripped-down, sensuous version of Spector’s Wall of Sound
classic, “Be My Baby.” “With King, the blues are in good hands,” writes
Ashley Jude Collie of The Huffington Post. “His New-School Blues’ includes some modern riffs on traditional blues, and beyond.” BMans Blues Report states, “King’s track ‘Suicide’ features hot guitar riffs that will blow your hair back.”

In a review of King’s forthcoming release, Train, John Vermilyea of Blues Underground opines, “after listening to Train
I must once again put his music into a category for which the term
brilliant is first and foremost…packed with truly great tunes from
beginning to end. A really great album from one of the better singers,
songwriters, and guitarists performing nowadays. Highly recommended and thoroughly enjoyed.”
