Sat Mar 20
10 pm
Cash Box Kings, Oscar Wilson, and Billy Flynn at Crystal Corner Bar
Cash Box Kings don't mistake "Chicago blues" for "blues played loud just because." The band's new album, I-94 Blues, boasts Kenny Smith's swinging drums, Joe Nosek's warm harmonica-honking, and a delightfully hokey sense of down-and-out humor. Chicago pianist Barrelhouse Chuck piles extra, well, boogie onto several tracks, including opener "Default Boogie" and "Quesadilla Boogie." Billy Flynn and Joel Paterson's guitar leads tip in favor of rockabilly plucking over cheesy wah-wah screams. Even a cover of Jim Croce's "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" perfectly suits the band's mix of playful and earthy. The Kings play this CD-release show with several guests, including Paterson and Funky Drummer Clyde Stubblefield.
