Oscar's Motel

Yellow colored vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release. The Cash Box Kings return with another enthusiastic celebration of Chicago blues in all it's electric forms. Not content to merely pay homage to the past, they mix contemporary authority and old-school authenticity, opening a door into the intoxicating spirit and sounds of 1950s and 1960s Chicago-based blues brought right up to the minute by the original songwriting of singer Oscar Wilson and harmonicist/singer Joe Nosek. Sparked by Wilson's commanding vocals and Nosek's blistering harp, Oscar's Motel brims with raw, unvarnished ensemble playing on hard-driving shuffles, funky workouts and pleading slow blues.
