Album Notes

Rave Reviews of "Live! At The King Club" from around the world!

"These guys have obviously listened and learned."
"I love their stripped-down, paint-scorching approach to the Blues. The Cash Box Kings get my personal seal of approval."
Brian Williams-Blues Freepress UK


"The live recording shows they can all play with enthusiasm and talent and they all sing (Kenny does "Hoochie Koochie Man") and I certainly will not avoid them when I'm there..."
John Valenteyn-Maple Blues (Toronto Blues Society) Canada


"Far too many classic blues outfits stick to what can be considered a list of Top 40 Blues Hits, but these guys dig into the catalogs of John Brim, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Johnny Young, Tommy Johnson and others, delivering a sound steeped in seasoning."
Craig Ruskey-Blues on Stage Minneapolis, MN


"Madison's newest blues ensemble shows they have the passion and the chops in their debut, which borrows extensively from the recordings and atmosphere of Chicago's Chess/Checker tandem."
Dave Leucinger-Maximum Ink


"Think you don't like the blues? Maybe you just haven't heard 'em played with the down-to-it intensity they deserve. Madison's Cash Box Kings understand how to put over the sound of classic Memphis and Chicago blues as well as anyone..."
Isthmus Magazine


"The Cash Box Kings and [Kenny] Smith treat old-school blues with reverence so expect a selection of gritty songs imbued with the spirit of the 40's and 50's."
The Onion


"This is music that preserves the shot-and-a-beer sexual fire and joyously dirty-assed sound production of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Hound Dog Taylor without succumbing to museumpiece imitation."
Tom Laskin-Isthmus Magazine
