Theoretically speaking, Black Joe Lewis
just doesn¹t
make sense.
Seriously, how can any dude still shy of 30 sound this
soulful? And, more pertinently, how can anyone raised
in suburban Round Rock, Texas, make music this damn funky?
But lo and behold, it¹s all true: Black Joe Lewis
is the real deal, and all skepticism is blown away the
minute he takes the stage with his formidable ensemble
of like-minded soul mates, the Honeybears. Britt Daniel
invited the band to tour with Spoon, and it wasn¹t
long before Black Joe and Co. were signed to Lost Highway
Records. The label released the band¹s full-length
debut, Tell ¹Em What Your Name Is!, in March. It¹s
a raw and raucous affair from start to finish ‹ classic
rock ¹n¹ soul for a new generation that at
least a couple of older generations can dig, too.
