Genre: Blues, Soul, Funk
Anatomy texts might not show it, but the greatest soul and blues music leaves no doubt that the hip bone is directly connected to the heart, a fact that is driven home in every note laid down by Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears. As they prove on their Lost Highway debut, Tell Em What Your Name Is, the Austin based combo has the kind of gritty attitude and deliciously greasy groove consciousness that would pass muster in the toughest juke joint.
