Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears Blues Send email to Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears	Joe Lewis’ retro style shows his love of such deep Southern blues masters as Junior Kimbrough and Lightnin’ Hopkins, but with a more dangerous slant. Add a gospel-inspired call and response, crisp, soul-soaked staccato brass, and song titles such as Big Booty Woman and Master Sold My Baby, and the result is a sweat-soaked sound edgy enough to win over youthful white audiences unfamiliar with the likes of Lewis’ show-stopping predecessors, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave or Wilson Pickett. Ending 2009 on a variety of “best of” lists, Joe Lewis and his Austin–based combo have the kind of gritty attitude and deliciously greasy groove-consciousness that would pass muster in the best juke joint.
