Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters

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.

Christmas Cheer, The Boxmasters first holiday record, is an album full of seasonal cheer and just about every mixed Yuletide emotion in between but ultimately a record that speaks to the eternal child in all of us. USA Today said of Christmas Cheer, Billy Bob Thornton’s hillbilly-rock trio stuffs their stockings with twangy tunes like We Three Kings done in the style of Ring of Fire." CMT cited “The Boxmasters bring considerable swagger to Christmas Cheer”. Los Angeles Times noted "….check out their Johnny Cash-on-the-range take on “We Three Kings of Orient Are” and glorious downer honky-tonkin’ originals such as “My Dreams of Christmas” and “I Won’t Be Home for Christmas.”
