Hail to the Kings!

11 brilliant new original songs and revitalizing takes on Jimmy Reed’s "I'm The Man Down There" and Mercy Dee Walton's "Sugar Daddy." Label-mate Shemekia Copeland guests on one track. A raucous, hard-hitting album that breathes fire into authentic Chicago blues. An essential purchase for any fan of real blues! "Fearless, full-tilt Chicago blues...fervent vocals and soaring harmonica" —Chicago Tribune

It's hard not to see the title of Hail to the Kings! as the Cash Box Kings celebrating themselves, but this 2019 album -- the group's second for Alligator -- makes it plain that the quintet can occasionally plant their tongues firmly in cheek.
