Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears return with their most subversive record to date: an exploration of the sordid trappings of ego, isolation, consumption, waste, and war. Sonically inspired by the Hill Country blues, cowpunk, and southern soul of Stax, the album charts new territory with a heavy stream of lyrical consciousness.
Embodying a deep repertoire of sounds and drawing from: the heavy grooves of Albert King, the punked-up blues of R.L. Burnside, the storytelling of Bobby “Blue” Bland, and the soulfully layered horns of the Stones.
No one sound holds more weight than the next; all are all omnipresent throughout. When asked, Lewis says he wanted to “make a more complex and reflective record” than he had before. Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears traverse a lifetime of physical and metaphysical experiences characterized by self reflection and conscious decision making, prompting difficult questions and responding honestly. One thing is clear: Lewis pulls off a rare feat, creating an informed, “real blues” record.
