Florida Heat by Alex Kash

He regularly sticks his feet into that white sand and listens to the tropical sounds coming from the Island cultures there, and blends this with his knowledge of music coming from the San Francisco scene.

"Alex Kash has one of the most beautiful natural voices I've ever heard." - Rita Coolidge, winner of two Grammy Awards.

Alex Kash was voted best singer in Calaveras County by the readers of the Calaveras Enterprise Newspaper.

"alex kash with "florida heat"- not that i'm influenced by the title at all, now that i too am living in Florida. i am looking forward to my first heat wave in this state.. along with hurricane season.. but if it makes for such great songwriting as this delightful husband and wife songwriting team i'm calling "the kash machine" - then bring on the heat!'" -REVIEW OF "FLORIDA HEAT" BY ZOE MONTANA (OF RADIO ACOUSTIC)

"Florida Heat is an album of voice and 12-string guitar with an occasional blast of harmonica. Alex Kash’s voice sounds a bit like James Taylor when he is singing softly and his guitar is capable of laying down a wide range of rhythms and moods. The songs are interesting and everything is done with the understated taste of a man who has spent a long time in the music business, working in various capacities on other people’s projects. A pleasant sound with much to appreciate when you listen a few times." - Michael Devlin

Peter Massey says of the Florida Heat recording: 'Inside the cover of the album is a note from Alex Kash that reads: 'When I first arrived in South Florida, in interviews and conversation, people always asked me what my impressions of Florida were. This compilation album of 13 songs is my way of answering that question.' Alex sings in a very expressive almost pop style, with a smooth laid back feel, with just Kash singing the 12 songs he has written, accompanied strumming on his acoustic 12 string guitar and mouth organ. He put me in mind of Labie Sifrie, and Jose Feliciano, so if you are a fan of these, you might want to lend an ear to Alex Kash.'

Singer/Songwriter ALEX KASH: FLORIDA HEAT Emotive Music Alex Kash is kind of the Hal Blaine of vocals, having backed up or ghosted, well, everybody who has cut a record in the last 25 years! Claim is that he’s done more voice overs and narrations for commercials, short films, and spoken word recordings than any active musician, too. In his spare time, he’s been playing his own material for years, and now and then gets a record out under his own name. Happily, Kash is a fine songwriter with plenty of personality of his own to bring to his own projects, avoiding the trouble that often plagues session players who go solo – that they don’t have many original ideas. Not that Kash goes belting off into uncharted territory: in fact, most of Florida Heat has a safe familiarity to it. This is mostly because Kash can, and does, sound like all the lead singers he’s backed (or propped up!) over the years. This is one of the delights of the record, though, especially for people raised on ‘70s radio or younger folks looking for that vibe. Each tune on Florida Heat either evokes some classic genre, or emerges as an inventive mix of well known signatures. BTO sings Badfinger, unplugged! The New Riders play Journey! What if James Taylor joined The Cars?! Kash personally promotes inner peace, and his songs (all originals, here) follow Woody Guthrie’s dictum to sing about things that make you take pride in yourself, not run yourself down. It adds up to a fun, satisfying record, showing that Kash is deserving of a wide, popular audience. (Tom Petersen, Victory News)
