Editorial Reviews

"I don't miiiind," yowls Austin's Black Joe Lewis on the first track of his stripped-down, untitled new release on Weary Records. Produced by the Weary Boys' Brian Salvi, the eight hellbent songs rip like the night train with James Brown as engineer. Lewis lives for trad blues and soul ("Please," "Cousin Randy"), but make no mistake, this music is the color of tonight's dusk sky ("DC Killa," "Bitch I Love You"). - Margaret Moser, Austin Chronicle Right on schedule, around 10 p.m. surprise openers Black Joe Lewis of Austin took the stage to a crowd that built steadily to capacity over their 45-minute set. The eight-person band, fronted by former Round Rock High student Lewis, warmed up the crowd with a mix of funky soul, doo-wop and blues. From the tight sound of the horn and rhythm section, I was shocked to discover from Lewis that the band had only been playing in its current incarnation for about three months. While the tie-clad band definitely held their own, the highlight of the set was amazing Lewis, whose blazing guitar licks played sidekick to an amazing set of pipes that echoed sounds of James Brown and Sam Cooke. - Matthew Odam, Austin-American Statesman

Black Joe Lewis is high energy blues. I haven't heard of such rocking licks in awhile and it all sounds fresh. Look out, this man is going to be around for a good time.

This review is for all the Black Joe Lewis available on cd. He blew me away immediatelY when his firt cd came out. I have to say I was disappointed with his most recent live show a few months back in SF. But regardless, his newest cd Scandalous is awesome. And his combined work is my favorite music of 2011. IF YOU LOVE GARAGE BLUES....Get whatever music by Joe that you can.
