Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears: “Scandalous”

The CD artwork for Black Joe Lewis’ new album with his Honeybears, called Scandalous, is lined with pin-up girls, atomic bombs, handguns, and even a picture of Jesus– seeming, oddly enough, like a pretty good summation of the primal, stripped-to-the-bone grit and humanity of this music. It’s a bawdy thing but an awfully good time, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t getting a fair bit of play time here at Hurst HQ. My full review is up at Stereo Subversion.
