Editorial Review: Product Description: Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters sound combines the influence of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kinks, and the Animals, fused with Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams. Fashioned after a 1960 s-era mod band (including matching suits and ties!), The Boxmasters upbeat rhythms and infectious arrangements contrast sardonically with the very dark themes they explore lyrically.

 Rating:  - awesomei ADORE this album and i'm not even a country music fan. i saw these guys in Sellersville, PA (philly 'burb) on 8-19-08 and they were wonderful. can't wait to see them again. i'm listening to it right now :) Rating: - How can you not smile?Often times I approach albums from actors with tremendous trepidation and skepticism. A good actor does not a good musician make. I have a stack of albums at home to prove it (Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Keenau Reeves, echhh!). But what happens when the music is so good, the songwriting is so tight and the talent is so spot on that you forget that an actor is doing it? What happens is pure genius! The new album by the Boxmasters is steeped in tradition and yet sounds cool and contemporary. In the great tradition of American roots and rockabilly, Billy Bob Thornton and his henchmen have put out a record that is almost too good to be true. You not only get killer originals but a disc of covers that are interpreted so well, you almost think they ... Read More: Rating: - Now Ant This Great!Damn, Billy Bob Thornton has a new fan. Its me! Damn since I saw him 2 weeks ago, I bought his CD that night and I have been hooked ever since. Ya know its kinda nice to discover something new from someone that your really didnt expect it from. Ya know I like almost ever song on the double CD box. Por House, the 2 Nesmith songs, which by the way always has something differnt to offer, Shes Getting Better By The Minute and the remake of a song by The Beatles I Want To Hold your Hand which I feel was long overdue for a makeover. Ya know, I shook his hand and he looked at me and said, "I want to thank you for coming to the show", How really nice of him to be so in touch with his fans! Im a big fan of all of his movies and now, his music! Rating: - Billy Bob, The GeniusThis is good, solid entertainment. The songs are gritty, unique, and just downright entertaining. It's about hard life and hard living, weird stuff, but fun. I love a blend of contradictions. I could see this album being used as the background music for The Greatest White Trash Love Story Ever Toldwhen it is made into a movie. Rating: - Billy Bob Thorton RulesI never would have guessed that the marvelous actor I admired was also such an accomplished musician and singer! The songs in Boxmaster are amazing, funny, melancholy, even gruesome. The weird cacophonous noises between tracts that make the listener think the CD is damaged is a clever poke in the eye. |
