Austin-based Black Joe Lewis is a singer and guitarist with a bent toward vintage blues and R&B. Backed by his band the Honeybears, Lewis draws inspiration from such legendary "shouters" as Howlin' Wolf, Wilson Pickett, and James Brown, as well as smoother crooners like Sam Cooke. Black Joe Lewis released his debut album on Weary in 2007. In 2009, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears released Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! on Lost Highway. The band toured relentlessly over the next year before recording its even grittier follow-up, Scandalous, released on Lost Highway in 2011. ~ Matt Collar
