"A truly unique Gospel stylist, Isaiah Owens plays guitar and sings in his own very distinctive and otherworldly way. Isaiah plays loud and with quite a bit of dissonance, his voice floating above beautifully. This LP features some of his finest performances, captured from his radio broadcasts in Montgomery Alabama and from studio recordings. We are very proud to present this material. Liner notes by Kevin Knutt (of the greatest radio show of all time, Sinners Crossroads, as well as the Case Quarter label)."

"The CaseQuarter mission continues full-force with its second installment of the wondrous and sacred musical intensity and beauty that avails itself in the American South. This time it is a collection of contemporary recordings -- You Without Sin Cast The First Stone, the solo debut of singer/guitarist Isaiah Owens. In the early 1990s, Isaiah Owens ended a distinguished career singing lead with the gospel quartet the Flying Clouds of Montgomery, Alabama. Early in the 1980s, Owens began to teach himself guitar and soon began sitting in on local AM gospel radio broadcasts, most notably with the Montgomery Gospelaires and later with Ann Talbert's Cheerful Angels program. Always known for his dynamic vocals and piercing falsetto, Owens augmented the initial chords he taught himself with extremely loud volume. Along with emphasizing the rhythmic over the traditionally musical, Owens was not afraid to incorporate dissonance into his playing. The merging of Owens' unique guitar style with his accomplished vocals makes for an intriguing and original musical experience truly not heard anywhere else in the gospel world."
