No artist comes at today's soul revival with the punk attitude of Austin's Black Joemore
No artist comes at today's soul revival with the punk attitude of Austin's Black Joe Lewis & the Honey Bears. The 26-year-old Lewis leads a horn-fueled blues revue that's equal parts Otis Redding and Lightnin' Hopkins and would sound at home on the Fat Possum label. His eponymous and indie 2007 EP started the buzz both locally and nationally. – Jim Caligiuri

Posted about 1 month ago.The blues-hollerin’ Black Joe Lewis may have the wounded soul of Wilson Pickett and the showmanship of James Brown, but the young Austinite’s roots are in gangsta rap and punk, which actually works in his favor. While the more established bluesmen in this town are so robotically proficient with their instruments that their music has all the raw power of a Michael McDonald song, Lewis’ primitive playing gets to the heart of the music, harkening back to the days of self-taught pioneers like Lightnin’ Hopkins.
