Torrent description

JOE KUBEK AND BNOIS KING SHOW ME THE MONEY
Original Release Date: June 29, 2004
Label: Blind Pig
Format:Mp3@320

This pairing of seemingly disparate guitar stylists remains one of the most sustained and successful musical partnerships in modern blues. Joe Kubek's aggressive approach is proudly rooted in the Freddie King tradition and that's not too surprising since the late King was an early employer. Bnois King's jazz-inflected guitar lines spice up the proceedings, effectively serving as the steak sauce for Kubek's hearty cuts of beef. The dozen original songs, including the guitar showcase "Armadillo Blues," provide graphic and uniformly entertaining evidence of the duo's potential. Kubek expands the sound a bit by adding acoustic and slide guitar, but it's the enlightened interplay with King that makes the music work. Kubek also plays Hammond B-3 organ on "Let's Stop Pretending" while Anson Funderburgh adds some guitar on "Invitation Only." King's soulful vocals, reminiscent at times of Boz Scaggs's cool groove, serve to unify and elevate the impressive instrumental achievements of both guitarists. There are very few live blues bands as consistently cohesive as the Kubek/King alliance, and Show Me the Money simply, and successfully, relocates its onstage excellence to the recording studio. --Michael Point [Amazon Review]
