Editorial Review
The band's Alligator Records debut, Blood Brothers, produced by Kubek and Alligator president Bruce Iglauer, is a blues lover's delight. The CD features 14 rocking blues songs (13 originals) filled with Kubek's larger-than-life fretwork and King's smoky vocals and economical, tasty guitar playing. Recorded with Kubek and King's road-honed touring unit, the album captures all of the band's legendary live energy and highlights the seemingly telepathic interplay between the musicians.

Another strong entry from Kubek and King

2008-06-18
It never ceases to amaze me how well Kubek and King work together - the chemistry and cohesiveness are definitely there. The record consists of mostly original material, with some REALLY fun tunes!

Most songs sound upbeat (although lyrics are pure blues) and provides SUPER driving music. The songs are crafted to be pretty easy to understand and get into, with catchy rhythm patterns and smooth, no-drama vocals by Bnois King. The blues are 100% Texas.

The rock aspect of this record is also strong, and Kubek delivers some smoking solos, living up to his name. Bnois King contributes a totally different tone, and it's fun to listen to the two approaches combined.

The CD is polished, produced by Kubek and Iglauer. There are really not many things wrong with it. The only improvement I could cite would be for Bnois King to diversify his vocal delivery. His ever-present vibratos don't fit to every melody, and a gruffer, less polished method of singing is sometimes more appropriate. That's a fairly minor gripe for an otherwise very strong record.

The CD definitely has enough energy, mastery, and feeling in it to exceed 4 stars, so it gets 5.

CONSISTENCY IS THEIR GAME

2008-03-15
Another consistent and strong effort of straight up Texas blues from this dynamic duo. "Smokin'" Joe provides his usual sturdy riffs. Bnois King tasteful rhythm work and distinctive vocals on tracks like "My dog's still walkin'" sound especially energetic on their Alligator records debut. No frills, no nonsense HOT Texas blues.
