Synopsis

Product Description
Plugged, unplugged, harmonica driven, piano driven, guitar driven, vocal driven, rhythm driven, The Cash Box Kings do it all-and on their Blue Bella Records debut, the core members of the band (Joe Nosek, Chris Boeger, Kenny Smith) have some mighty fine company joining them. Oscar Wilson shares vocal duties with Nosek (who wails on harp throughout). Also appearing are a few of the honorary 'Kings' that regularly perform live with the band: drummer / percussionist Mark Haines, Jimmy Sutton on upright bass and backing vocals, Joel Paterson on guitar, Billy Flynn on guitar, mandolin and banjo, plus the one and only Barrelhouse Chuck on piano. The Cash Box Kings are another sign the Chicago blues scene is alive and well. Between the multiple voices and stellar instrumental play, there's some tasty blues gumbo right here. Grab a spoon and enjoy.

Take the "I-94 BLues" home or on the highway !!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"great ensemble; Joe Nosek knows how to coordinate a jam, and put on a Chicago style blues party! Love Oscar Wilson's vocals on "You Don't Mess Around with Jim" (Croce, not Morrison) and "Ain't No Fun When the Rabbit Got The Gun"; the title cut "I-94 Blues" is a great original composition by Nosek, and well performed by the band. Joel Paterson's guitar is sterling throughout, and Jimmy Sutton provides great bass. Special guest Billy Flynn adds mandolin & banjo to the mix, as well as guitar, and Barrelhouse Chuck keeps it rollin' old-style. This CD was recorded in Madison, Wisconsin in 2009, in the two days before Michael Jackson died. Nicely packaged little product, cool cover art. Recommended for parties, dancin' in the kitchen, traveling down the highway on the road of life, and for all fans of Midwest, Chicago-style blues, the kind that has never died, but is especially pleasant when capably & freshly revived."

"The Cash Box Kings have a new release that all blues and music fans will thoroughly enjoy. Matter of fact, I will even say that this collection of songs is without a doubt one of the best I've heard in the last ten years. As you listen to their new CD "I - 94 Blues" you will instantly recognize the sounds of a band playing Chicago blues and having a great time doing it! This album will soon be a classic! I still keep shaking my head because I cannot believe that each song was like listening to a greatest hits album. The Cash Box Kings play really tight and the vocals will have you wanting to hear more music from these guys. This CD is a must have for your collection and you have to see them perform live - you will also be shaking your head at what will be an amazing performance. This CD is a winner and it will exceed your expectations"
