Formed in Austin, TX, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears is an eight-piece, garage-soul ensemble featuring groove-laden guitars, penetrating brass and a fiery frontman who exudes power and attitude. Their Lost Highway debut album, Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! was produced by Jim Eno (Spoon) and recorded, mostly live in the studio, in Austin, TX. Their gut-shot style, felt here in such songs as "Gunpowder," "Master Sold My Baby" and "I'm Broke," draws directly from their classic soul, R&B and blues influences. Inspiration from artists such as Otis Redding and The Bar-Kays, James Brown and Lightnin' Hopkins are clearly present in their songs and live shows, but Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears inject a full-tilt, unabashedly brash element to this old-school style sound that is truly remarkable.
