Smokin' Joe Kubek and Bnois King are the most potent one-two punch in blues. Brawny guitar blaster Smokin' Joe Kubek and his soul-singing, guitar-playing partner Bnois King have been burning up the highway from Texas to all corners of the U.S and the world since the early '90s, playing thousands of gigs and building a major cult fan base with their combustible blend of blues and Texas roadhouse rock. Now signed to Alligator, Joe and Bnois are certain to break out to an even wider audience behind increased press and radio support for their label debut, Blood Brothers.Blood Brothers is no-holds-barred Lone Star State blues from a couple of masters at the top of their game. Smokin' Joe's huge, biting tone and Bnois' suave, passionate singing lead the way on a set of tunes steeped in the tradition, yet full of unpredictable twists and turns. Cuts like My Dog's Still Walkin,' Troubled Dreams and Freezer Burn rock with a loose, greasy vibe, while blues-infused workouts Don't Lose My Number and Flame Thrower groove with a simmering intensity.
