Black Joe Lewis & The Honey Bears

Anybody ever here these cats out of Austin?

Their album "Tell 'Em What You name Is" is my pick for best underground album of the year.

Have I found a good band that Zoners have never heard of?

Check them out.

They are playing Bowery Ballroom the night after Furthur at Radio City.

grady

is it a rock or blues record?

It's mostly funk with a blues/rock tinge. But old school, not hip-hop at all.

Ed, based on your posts about music -- i.e. best albums of the year -- I'd say you like, for lack of a better term, Folk/Rock the best. I also know you are open to all sorts of music so I think you would dig it. Don't mean to categorize your tastes. You and I like 95% the same stuff.

I think they stream their new album on their web site if you want to give it a listen.

I hope I'm not too burned out from Furthur to go to their Bowery Ballroom show on Feb. 25th. They are supposed to kick it live (never seen them, a friend just turned me onto their music over the holiday).

I'm hoping they get a Bonnaroo slot this year (not that I'm going) and the secret will be out. Perfect for the young dancing crowd.

Don't mean to categorize your tastes>>


not a problem and a fair evaluation, i will check out their site

what i have heard i like a lot.

I liked what I heard on the radio. Then I saw him this summer and it wasnt nearly as exciting as what I heard on the radio. He reminds me of James Brown.
