This week you will hear Bnois King from the band Smokin’ Joe Kubek and Bnois King talking about their new record on Alligator Records called Have Blues Will Travel.

Bnois King like Smokin’ Joe Kubek plays guitar for the band but he’s also the vocalist and wrote or co-wrote all the songs.  Their last record the popular 2008 Alligator release Blood Brothers has been one of my fevered records of the last few years.   It’s been a long wait but the much anticipated new record Have Blues Will Travel come out this Tuesday.

The record is full of great guitar playing, good hooks, and the very pleasant voice of Bnois King.  Bnois really come up with some great lyrics like in the song “RU4 Real”  or “Payday In America” a song every person that works for a living will relate to.

Why take my word for it turn on the show and you will hear for yourself some of the coolest-hottest music of this summer.

Bnois said they will be doing a long tour so be sure to get out there and see them.
