Smokin' Joe Kubek & Bnois King – Have Blues Will Travel (CD)
Product Details
Smokin' Joe Kubek and Bnois King built their sound on the Dallas blues circuit, where Kubek honed his attack under the influence of Texas guitar giants before the two became one of the most distinctive guitar duos in modern blues. What sets them apart is the contrast: Kubek's searing lead work against King's deeply rhythmic, vocally anchored approach, a partnership that rewards repeated listening the way a great live set does.
With Have Blues, Will Travel, Smokin' Joe Kubek & Bnois King take another giant step forward. Kubek and King wrote or co-wrote all twelve songs, and, along with their road-tested rhythm section, they ignite a blues fire with enough heat to fuel an all-night party. The chemistry between Kubek's blistering fretwork and King's savvy vocals and unpredictable, multifaceted guitar work creates a roadhouse blend of muscular blues-rock, hip-shaking shuffles and slow-burning blues that is simply impossible to resist. Each song is infused with deep, from-the-heart musicianship, carefully crafted, true-to-life lyrics and delivered with the occasional wry smile. King calls Have Blues, Will Travel the best record the band has ever made.
