Music reviews of The Boxmasters
Music Review: Great -- Zevon-influenced
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a great album. It's sincere and darkly macabre at once. In that way, and in Billy Bob's voice, the music reminds me a little of Warren Zevon. Of course, Billy Bob worked with Warren Zevon and the two were friends, so that would make sense. The video for "The Poor House" has the same sensibility -- the cutaways to Billy Bob's nodding head are creepily hilarious. (The guest drummer in that video has a great British Invasion move, too.)
So anyway, this is a good purchase. I'm glad it's doing reasonably well on the charts. It probably couldn't have been a best-seller -- the Boxmasters, like Zevon, are just too far ahead of the times.
Description of The Boxmasters
Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters sound combines the influence of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kinks, and the Animals, fused with Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams. Fashioned after a 1960 s-era mod band (including matching suits and ties!), The Boxmasters upbeat rhythms and infectious arrangements contrast sardonically with the very dark themes they explore lyrically.Alt-Country & Americana CDs
