The Daily Choice: Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears - I’m Broke
Each and every morning for the last two months I’ve been slogging my way out of bed far before light hits the cracks of the cement, strolling in to the darkened tubes of the BART station and heading off to work. The early hour, combined with the vagrants and shady characters I have to navigate to get to said BART station, puts a real damper on my day, especially as it’s a job I hate.
Luckily Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears exist.
Regardless of the stale scent of evaporating urine, the proferations of “cheap bud” and the general sense of unease I have being awake before the sunrises, Black Joe Lewis always gets my mind moving, my fingers tingling, my “booty” shaking. It’s feel good music, a modern take on southern soul, and it is the perfect cure for morning malaise. Black Joe Lewis’s gravel-raked voice screaming “I’m broke” makes me want to dance-step my way down the street, jazz hands flailing, hairy mop shaking atop my head.

Did you happen to catch their sick show at the Tractor? That song brought the house down.
