This week, Jason Castro hit the road with Caitlin Crosby and label-mate Matt Hires on a cross-country tour. The American Idol alum is only a few shows in, and his set is already receiving great reviews. The New York Times checked out Wednesday night’s show and reflected on the journey that Castro has made from his American Idol audition to his “magnetic set” at Joe’s Pub.
“Earlier this month he released “The Love Uncompromised EP” (Atlantic), a prelude to a full album this spring, and it’s among the most sure-footed records, debut or otherwise, by an “Idol” contestant from any season. Partly that’s because Mr. Castro has had time to marinate, and to woodshed. His season’s winner, David Cook, and runner-up, David Archuleta, both released debut albums about six months after the season finale. But no one rushed Mr. Castro to pin down his style, and he certainly didn’t rush himself. He’s got it down cold now, though: 1960s pop with bright guitars, slashed through with a contrarian streak. It’s as if he were still stuck in one of the genre-themed weeks on “Idol,” but the most apt one. Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz should be nervous.”
