    Black Joe Lewis's Scandalous is a fun, raw, soulful and blusey album. And it is immediately good...no listens are necessary for the album to warm up to you. BJL's energy on the album gives you a good idea of how great their live performances will be.

    Scandalous is the soundtrack to your next party. In fact, after giving it a spin or two, you might just throw a party in its honor. Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, no doubt, would approve.

    More of the same from Black Joe Lewis – and this is a good thing.

    The thoroughly engaging Scandalous certainly satisfying one's hunger for some stick-to-your-ribs rock 'n' soul music. The band, however, seems approaching a crossroads. They definitely demonstrate their skills at successfully reviving these retro sounds but they are still striving to find their own special voice.
