Raw, powerful gospel meets electric blues onYou Without Sin, Cast the First Stone, the remarkable solo debut of Alabama singer and guitarist Isaiah Owens. Released on Mississippi Records in 2015, this album presents a deeply personal and unconventional approach to sacred music from the American South.

Owens combines forceful electric guitar playing, rhythmic intensity and a distinctive, impassioned voice that moves between gritty shouts and piercing falsetto.
