The Cash Box King's 2019 Album!
11 brilliant new original songs and revitalizing takes on Jimmy Reed's "I'm The Man Down There" and Mercy Dee Walton's "Sugar Daddy." Label-mate Shemekia Copeland guests on one track. A raucous, hard-hitting album that breathes fire into authentic Chicago blues. An essential purchase for any fan of real blues! "Fearless, full-tilt Chicago blues...fervent vocals and soaring harmonica" - Chicago Tribune
The interplay is elastic and gritty, as is the sound of the record; maybe the surface is crystal clear, but the levels are still happily pushed into the red. All this means Hail to the Kings! is a rollicking good time, but what gives the album resonance is how the Cash Box Kings don't merely pay homage to the past, they bring tradition into the present.
