"The Cash Box Kings' cast of aces sizzle the hip side of
classic Chicago blues with an old delta branding iron. A prime homage to the
blues' rich history with creative, enthusiastic twists." - Hittin' the
Note
The Cash
Box Kings make an appearance in support of their latest
award-winning CD, Black Toppin', as
follows:
SATURDAY, OCTOBER
18THTHE RHYTHM ROOM
1019 E. INDIAN SCHOOL
RD602-265-4842
8:30 PM $10
These illustrious torchbearers skillfully capture the
essence of postwar Memphis and Chicago blues, while adding their own bravado,
energy and freshness to the mix. No less an authority than recent Grammy winner
Charlie Musselwhite said, "The Cash Box Kings play with taste and feel and it
was faith restoring to know there are guys out there that still know and
appreciate real blues."
Black
Toppin' won the Blues Blast Music Award for "Best
Traditional Blues Album" and is a 2014 Blues Music Award nominee in the same
category. The release was also named one of the "10 Best Blues
Recordings of 2013" by Apple iTunes. In addition to delivering authentic,
back-in-the-day Chicago blues, they display their deep affinity for Delta and
Louisiana swamp blues, jump blues and their own signature
"blues-a-billy."

Living Blues magazine
proclaimed their release, "a great record by one of the best blues bands in the
land," while
No Depression added, "The ghosts of Muddy Waters, Hubert
Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins and Little Walter must be smiling.
Black
Toppin' might be the best blues album you'll hear this
year."
