According to the US music biz bible, USA Entertainment News, Michael Weston King "has entered the
rarefied field of classic singer songwriters". Admired by the likes of Chris Hillman, Ron Sexsmith, and the legendary Townes
van Zandt
(who covered one of Michael's songs) he draws his influences from Pop Music to Folk, from Country music
to Soul. He was the leader of U.K. Alt Country pioneers The Good Sons, whose 7 year career was recently celebrated by the
double album, Cosmic Fireworks-The Best of The Good Sons (1994-2001). UnCut wrote "The band who must rate as
England's very own Uncle Tupelo. A truly thrilling collection." For the past six years he has been a solo
troubadour,
touring all over the world, with the likes of Nick Cave, John Cale, Roger McGuinn, Steve Earle, and many more,
and releasing five beautiful, articulate albums along the way. His most recent album, A New Kind of Loneliness, including
contributions
from Chris Hillman, Ron Sexsmith and Jackie Leven, has been widely hailed as his finest to date,
"Like Tim Hardin, Phil Ochs or Townes van Zandt, King transmutes squalor and self-laceration into pure gold" Mojo
