Blind Pig Records
has released Fat Man's Shine
Parlor, the latest studio album from Smokin' Joe Kubek and
Bnois King, one of the most talented guitar tandems in
any genre.
|
Joe and Bnois have been thrilling music fans all
around the world with their red-hot Texas rockin' blues for twenty-five years,
and have developed into a dynamic musical tour de force, with Joe's flame
throwing guitar work complemented by Bnois' cool, jazz-inflected playing and
soulful vocals.
Their incendiary live shows feature two top
flight guitarists intuitively locked in with each other and backed by a
firepower rhythm section, making for a powerful and irresistible
combination.
Regarding the CD title - as a young musician, Smokin’ Joe
Kubek would venture in the wee hours after a gig to a declining, somewhat
unsavory Dallas neighborhood in search of fried chicken. A commercial district
for African-Americans, the area had been a hotbed for jazz and blues musicians
from the 1920’s through the 50’s where you could also find gun and locksmith
shops, tattoo studios, pawnshops, and pool halls.
Joe was fascinated by one remaining establishment across the street called
“Fat Man’s Shine Parlor.” Ostensibly a place to get your shoes shined, to
those in the know, it was also a place for other activities such as gambling,
drinking, and womanizing.
Joe sees this CD in a similar light – crack open the door, and inside you’ll
find lots more than advertised. Only in this case, the pleasures will be
musical.
