Description
The Cash Box Kings treat us all to a real down-home good time on the group’s newest album Oscar’s Motel.
The new record drops March 17th, 2023 on Chicago’s Alligator Records and contains the sound of The Cash Box Kings playing vintage ensemble blues with modern fire and old-school class. Their music blends the vibrant sounds of 50s and 60s blues with sharply-written original songs that are relevant and highly entertaining.
Joe Nosek started The Cash Box Kings in 2001 in Madison, Wisconsin. In 2007, larger-than-life Chicago blues vocalist Oscar Wilson came onboard and the Kings hit their stride. The combo of Wilson’s unquestionably real South Side Chicago blues vocal and songwriting styles and Nosek’s blazing harp work and storytelling vocals make an intoxicating cocktail and the band has built a large, global following. They’ve released 11 albums including this one & received much critical praise.
The Cash Box Kings are at the peak of their powers on Oscar’s Motel. The band has found a magic niche between old and new styles and puts down blues music of a caliber that few can match. Highly recommended.
