Jerry Castle: Paying Homage to the Throwback Texas Man

From humble beginnings in the Appalachian Mountains to the booze-drenched country lyrics and soulful southern-rock sound he’s become so well known for, Jerry Castle’s life has been a winding and often bumpy road. ‘Up until I was about 11-12 years old, we lived in poverty,’ he recalls. ‘Being in fist fights was a common occurrence and I still remember my first full-fledged fight at the age of seven.’ Despite this, Jerry credits his upbringing for teaching him the importance of hard work and resilience, two qualities that helped him remain dedicated to the one thing that brought him sanctuary; his music.
