Bio
.......... "Stylistically the effect of the music parallels coming home from a trip to Maxwell Street with a box of dusty 45s and 78s on labels like Ora-Nelle, Blue Lake, Parrot or Cobra - rough and tumble, meat and potatoes Chicago blues." -Dick Shurman blues critic/producer--------------- The Cash Box Kings, featuring Kenny "Beady Eyes" Smith on drums and vocals, are a young Chicago blues band dedicated to carrying on the spirit of the 1940's and 50's Chess and Sun Records era blues as well as the Mississippi Hill Country sound of Fred McDowell and R.L Burnside. ............ ....Myspace Layouts.. at Pimp-My-Profile.com / ..Watermelon.. ..
