The debut solo album released October 1999. A dark piece of work reflecting the author’s mood at the time. The song’s spartan arrangements of acoustic guitar, piano and cello the perfect accompaniment to the despairing lyrics.
God Shaped Hole is real “Blood on the Tracks” stuff, Kings voice is superb. Utterly compelling and beautifully wrought, this is a masterpiece of sorts.
- Time Out
God Shaped Hole is a heavy duty emotional roller coaster, but a ride worth taking.
- Q Magazine **** 4/5
God Shaped Hole is an extraordinary, reflective exercise in self-examination. The songwriting is superb and the playing masterly. The spirit of Phil Ochs seems to pervade this album.
- Country Music International **** 4/5
Like Phil Ochs or Townes Van Zandt, King transmutes squalor and self-laceration into pure gold….his craft seems to thrive on adversity. God Shaped Hole never deviates from single-minded brooding intensity, and never once strikes a false note. A classic, but at what cost?
- The Times ****4/5
