“The [Rock in Asia] CD ends with a stand-out track - "Take My Hand (A Song of Hope for the Victims of Agent Orange)" by the Curtis King Band (based in Vietnam), featuring a Chinese zither jamming in a rock band. The heart-wrenching tune ends with a powerful grand finale - with blues-inspired guitar licks, haunting yet joyous zither chords, and Shanghai-based Matthew 'Cadillac' Cooper's bursting vocals." ”

“This was definitely one of the best performances at JakJazz 2007 that I saw. Curtis collaborated with a top class young saxophonist from Singapore (Dr. Hi Tone Benson) and also a female guest star (Ms. Zhang Nan) who played the traditional Chinese zither. It was a fantastic collaboration of fine music. ”

“[About "Take My Hand (A Song of Hope for the Victims of Agent Orange)"]... "King's warm rasping vocal suits this slow burning anthem that has echoes of U2. The man himself provides some very tasty Eric Clapton flavoured guitar joined by the glorious sound of a 21 string zither from Zhang Nan." [And about Kingsworld's "Rock in Asia" CD]... What counts here are memorable melodies, strong hooks and a catchy chorus. The standard of musicianship is high... it's given me a great deal of listening pleasure over the past few weeks and I really couldn't ask for much more from a CD." ” - GEOFF FEAKES
