Band Pimping: Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears (Originally published October 20, 2009)

I was working at the radio station a couple weeks ago when I picked up an album by Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, a band I’d never heard before.  I popped them in the disc tray and was blown away.  They fulfill all my soul-loving tendencies, as they are very reminiscent of the more raucous Stax bands and Sly Stone.  I got the album, entitled Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is!, and am extremely impressed.  Here’s a video to the song that introduced me to them.  I hope you like it as much as I do.
