"Keith Richards-esque loose-tinged country."   -Rolling Stone

Jerry Castle has carved out a career that is as diverse as his musical influences, earning everything from chart-topping radio hits to critical acclaim from publications like Rolling Stone along the way. With his latest album, Untangled, Castle takes us on an atmospheric roots rock journey towards healing and self-discovery. Raised in the rural town of Abingdon, Virginia, just 45 minutes from where A.P. Carter was born, Jerry has always sung with a distinguishable southern drawl, even when his music has ventured into the realms of rock, pop hooks, and synthesizers.

"Impressive! Castle knows his way around a hit song.  That's right, I said hit."  -No Depression

"Untangled" finds Castle merging his Appalachian roots with a reinvigorated classic rock style production. This unique southern-fried earworm effortlessly fits into the jam band, rock singer-songwriter, and Americana genres all at once. The album's sound is driven by epic electric guitar solos, thick swells of delay and reverb, and Castle’s raspy baritone voice, which leads the way through layers of backing vocals and synthesizers to create a unique atmospheric bed.

Castle’s potential breakthrough album” -Wide Open Country

Untangled is an album about letting go of the past and fully grounding myself in the present," says Castle. “I had an overwhelming amount of shit going wrong in my life. I was looking for anything to ease the suffering,” he explains. “Through getting sober, a lot of daily reading, meditation, and yoga, I started learning to stay present. But that was an entire journey of pushing, pulling, moving forward, moving backward, being open and resisting. This album is the story of that journey.”

"A sound completely unique to him." -American Songwriter

"Untangled" brings a fresh perspective to Jerry’s brand of “Appalachian Soul” while also pushing ahead into new unexplored territory. During the years leading up to his 2020 LP, Midnight Testaments, Castle topped the Roots Music Folk Rock Chart for five weeks with his number-one radio hit "She Kills." He also shared shows with fellow southern-fried genre-benders like Sturgill Simpson, Old Dominion, and Justin Townes Earle. In search of life experiences that felt every bit as colorful as his music, he lived in Los Angeles for several years, worked as a Music Row songwriter back in Nashville, and sharpened himself into a charismatic, guitar-slinging front man with a seemingly unending string of shows.
