Beetroot is the fourth album by the English band Cast, released in 2001. From the album, only one single was released, "Desert Drought", which reached #45 in the UK Singles chart.

Background

In the run up to the album's release, the band ran a competition via their then-official website, appealing to fans to submit their own ideas for possible album titles, as the band proposed that they would choose a title from all of the entries received. However, despite the many suggestions, John ultimately decided to stick with his own working title for the project, 'Beetroot'.[2]

Although the band chose not to use any of the names suggested, they did make a Top 10 list of alternate album titles:[2]
