The Cash Box Kings

Oscar's Motel

(Alligator Records)




Listening to this good record makes one wonder why people listen to bad music. The charts are full of truly abysmal recordings. Here we have honesty, real-world narratives, and tight musicanship of an impressive calibre. Meaty stuff.

Let the masses have dreck. We know the score - of which gritty blues is one cornerstone.

Recommended: "Oscar's Motel," "Down On the South Side," "I Can't Stand You," "Nobody Called It the Blues," "Pontiac Blues," "She Dropped the Axe On Me," "Ride Santa Ride"
