Kasey Performs Live On KEXP
 Kasey Anderson performed a few tracks of the newly released "The Reckoning" on KEPX where he is #2 on the Americana charts this week and #26 on their overall charts. Not bad for only being out a few days.
Kasey played an on-air set on "Swingin' Doors," Don Slack's Roots/Americana show on KEXP
which is dedicated to a wide range of country sounds and styles,
from honky tonk and western swing to alternative country and bluegrass, in
sharp contrast to the tight playlists and narrow focus of today's
commercial country radio.
As might be expected from a show named Swingin' Doors, there's usually a bit more honky tonk than anything else, though you'll hear everything from old-time fiddle tunes and boppin' country boogie to lush Countrypolitan sounds and hard-charging alternative twang-rock.
You'll hear country giants like Loretta Lynn, Ernest Tubb and Lefty Frizzell alongside more obscure but talented folks such as Joe Carson, the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers and Charline Arthur. You'll also hear plenty of new music ranging from hardcore honky tonkers like Roger Wallace and Heather Myles to edgy alt-country artists like Neko Case, the Drive-By Truckers and Fred Eaglesmith.
 Press is coming in on Kasey like mad. Here is what they have to say.
"[Anderson] writes songs that are almost anthems." - Aiding and Abetting
"There's an attitude to these songs that is pretty tough to beat." - Aiding and Abetting
"Dark and haunting..." - Mastanmusic.com
"[The Reckoning] is something striking and unpredictable." - Mastanmusic.com
