Americana duo The Mastersons, Chris Masterson and Eleanor Whitmore, premiere a new video for their song "King of the Castle." The song, featured on their new album No Time For Love Songs, was inspired by the loss of Chris's father and a remark made by their friend, fellow artist Rosie Flores, that when you lose a father it's like "the king of the castle" is gone. The video was filmed at Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles during the sessions for the album.

When they're not touring the world as valued longtime members of Steve Earle's band the Dukes, the musical and marital twosome of The Mastersons make inspired albums of their own emotionally vivid, deeply humanistic songs. No Time For Love Songs explores the emotional challenges of a morally compromised era, and reflects the experiences that the pair has accumulated in their travels.
