Minnesota-based guitarist Randy Casey takes in so many guitar-based genres of instrumental music that it boggles the mind. Randy first picked up the guitar at 13 and began writing his own material shortly thereafter. Over the years he has contributed ubiquitously to fellow musicians' albums and tours and has produced commercial scores for readily identifiable clients like Levi's, Vidal Sassoon, Target Corporation and H&R Block. Through a lifelong love for music of all styles, genres and eras, Randy has mastered more than the guitar.

Randy is also an artist who stands by his work and his word with a warm sense of humor. Those traits shine in his music. Honky-tonk flavored in a Wilco-meets-Exile-era-Stones style, Randy's music belongs in an ear-pleasing genre all its own.

One listen to Randy's twang-tinged pop-rock music will have you hooked. Though he doesn't mention it, he's got a good nip of George Harrison's distinct slide guitar stylings and John Lennon's acidic, straight-from-the-gut lyricism running through this catalog. He is a guitar player's guitar player, a songwriter who connects immediately and intensely with his audience. Kevin Murphy — founding father of Rufus featuring Chaka Khan — described him as "the best all-around guitarist I've ever worked with."

"In a car, or, better yet, a Greyhound, Say No More does for passing scenery what Ry Cooder did for Paris, Texas." - Bill Snyder/No Depression

Say No More Understanding that some things are better left unsaid, singer/songwriter Randy Casey lets his instruments do all the talking on his new album. Featuring 11 instrumental tracks with performances by Eric Heywood (Richard Buckner, Alejandro Escovedo, Son Volt), Jessy Greene (VioVoom, Jayhawks, Golden Smog) and others. With compositions that are alternately ancient and futuristic, "Say No More" travels between trip-hop and bluegrass to create a uniquely unified and stunning whole. CD Price: $14.97

Randy Casey and the Cactus Thieves Ten songs of springy honky-tonk rock with bluesy border authenticity make Randy Casey and the Cactus Thieves feel like a trip to the American Southwest. From the cheeky country parody "Woe is Me" to the titular, surf-tinged "Cactus Thieves," this album showcases Randy Casey's fretboard mastery and inspired, genre-blending approach to his craft. CD Price: $14.97
