The Boxmasters

6 episodes

What do you get when you take the influence of the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Kinks and the Animals and then combine them with Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams? It could only be Billy Bob Thornton & The Boxmasters. The Boxmasters are fashioned after a 1960’s-era mod band whose upbeat rhythms and infectious arrangements contrast sardonically with the very dark themes they explore lyrically. The tension that the disparity between the subject matter and the music creates lends itself to a truly unique musical experience that could only be produced by The Boxmasters. On this podcast series, join The Boxmasters (J.D. Andrew, Mike Butler and W.R. "Bud" Thornton) as they discuss everything from the origin of the band to playing covers to creative influences to their daily moment of silence.
