If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then James McMurtry should be extremely flattered.

I saw Matt King and the Cutters at Sticky Fingerz in Little Rock and they nailed me to my chair ... I was so utterly gobsmacked that I forgot to drink my beer! When I tell you these guys are high energy, I mean they could power a resurrection! And it's not just the energy, there's some amazing musicianship here, and the songwriting is brilliant. Okay, I'm gushing. Go see 'em. You will, too. *¬◊

I originally saw Matt at the Wormy Dog and was pleasantly surprised by what I heard. Matt's music and voice are amazingly unique in this venue. There is only once CD in my car and that is RUBE. I have mastered all of the words to the songs. Interesting stories they tell. Matt is a remarkable singer songwriter. I love the new "Back to Baltimore" song and the images of "Graveyard Shift". Matt, keep'm coming!

Why isn't there more hype about Matt King? C'Mon Son, Matt King brings it. Vinny caught his show at the Wormy Dog a couple weeks ago and was very impressed. Refreshingly different sound in a watered down "Texas music" scene. Thank God for artists like Matt King, Sons of Bill, and Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights. Check out the "Rube" CD. It's nails.

I saw Matt King for the first time this past Saturday the 12th of June, 2010 opening up for the one and only Robert Earl Keen at Floore's Country Store in Helotes, TX! Way to go Robert Earl Keen for turning me on to another great group of artist. The Cutters were Killer and Matt King was awesome! What a great fresh new sound. I dig it!

Great record from a great group. If you ever have a chance to see these guys live, DO IT, they put on a GREAT show.
