Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears – Scandalous

Monday, March 14th, 2011

Some selections from the new Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears album, which might even be a little better than their last one. You still get a good chunk of the horned-up garage rave-ups that dominated Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is, but the band also take their electric blues and gospel influnces further than it has before, with good results. I wouldn’t want these guys to entirely abandon their energetic side, but more heavier soul and deeper blues is always a plus.

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears – Snatch it back and hold it (unreleased Junior Wells cover)

I saw Black Joe play the Bowery last week, as expected he tore shit down. If you get a chance to see him live don’t miss it, especially on this tour while he is accompanied by Cedric Burnside and Lightning Malcolm (that’s gonna be a whole another blog post).

My one and only disappointment with this show – they weren’t selling Black Joe’s/Honeybears older super rare self titled albums. I’ve been trying to track down Black Joe Lewis and Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears for a while now with no luck. If anybody could help out in that regard I would be much obliged. You can have Alaska for a day as compensation for your efforts. He raps good and does windows, amongst other things.

Meanwhile, here is an unreleased track from them that popped up as part of their Daytrotter Session.
