Handsome Jack: Boogie Rock Revivalists | The Sonic Road Podcast | EP.14
🎸 In this electrifying episode of The Sonic Road Podcast, we sit down with Handsome Jack, the soulful, groove-driven rock ‘n’ roll trio from Lockport, New York, signed to Alive Naturalsound Records.
Known for their swampy riffs, vintage tone, and a gritty blend of blues, soul, and boogie rock, the band opens up about their roots and rise.
We dig deep into the band’s early days, from rehearsal spaces inside a doggy daycare to the evolution of their sound inspired by Howlin' Wolf, CCR, The Rolling Stones, and Muscle Shoals soul.
The guys talk candidly about recording to analog tape, building their warm sound DIY-style, and why vinyl sales and live shows still matter in the modern music industry.
🛣️ Hear stories from the road, how COVID-19 affected their touring plans, and what it takes to stay true to rock ‘n’ roll in today’s digital world. Whether you're a fan of The Black Crowes, The James Gang, or just love authentic, rootsy American rock, this episode is for you.
