A Different Sound for Hal

"This CD is somewhat of a different sound for Hal - but a good different. From what I understand, this is the first record that he produced himself. It is somewhat of a break from his previous music, but I like the direction that his music seems to be going. There are a few upbeat numbers on this CD, but for the most part, the music is a little more mellow and heartfelt. I really don't understand why Hal doesn't get more radio play - he has been one of my favorite country artists for over a decade now. Take a listen - I don't think you'll be disappointed!"

All hail the king of love

"This new CD has not come out of my CD player since I got it...!!! Not only does Hal's voice sound better than ever, his production skills are amazing! It's one of those CD's that every single song is a joy to listen to over and over. I never hit the skip track button. I love this CD and if you already love Hal's music, it will be your favorite to date. If you aren't familiar with his music this is by far the best introduction. All hail King Hal!!"

"Hal's new CD, The King Of love, has been in my CD Player since I got it. I love every song on this CD and it shows the power of Hal's voice to express the emotions within a song without going overboard with all the production that some producers like to throw in to country albums today. Every song fits well with the other songs on this collction unlike the songs on Lucky Man. I love everything Hal does but the Lucky Man album was my least favorite. I have every album of Hal's including the very first one he did, Threadbare Alibis, there isn't a bad one in the whole lot. I would recommend this album highly to anyone who is willing to listen to the words and visualize in your mind's eye the picture Hal is painting. Hal Ketchum is one of a very few songwriters who have a definite message in their work."
