The Cash Box Kings continue to dedicate themselves to carrying on the spirit of the 1940's and 50's post-war Chicago blues sound as well as the delta blues music of the 20's and 30's. The band features Kenny "Beedy Eyes" Smith (son of the legendary Willie "Big Eyes" Smith) on drums and vocals, Joe Nosek on harmonica and vocals, Travis Koopman guitar and vocals, and Chris Boeger on upright bass. They pay homage to a lot of Chess and Sun Records luminaries like Little Walter, Muddy Waters, and Jimmy Rogers along with lesser-known guys like Dr. Isaiah Ross, Robert Nighthawk, Eddie Taylor and Luther Huff. They also delve into the Mississippi Delta sounds of blues men like Charley Patton, Son House, Fred McDowell and R.L. Burnside. The Kings round off their musical offerings with a healthy dose of original music which is heavily influenced by the blues men mentioned above.
