The Stone Foxes "Kill Robert Johnson" And Get Set To Release "Bears & Bulls"

The slow cooking blues drenched "I Killed Robert Johnson" from San Francisco's The Stone Foxes tells a dark story wrapped up in booze, jealousy, blood and dirty guitar riffs. All the perfect ingredients for one bad ass rock n' roll song and killer lead off single from their second full-length record "Bears & Bulls." A truly collaborative band the Stone Foxes don't really have a set line up when it comes to instrumentation, who plays what changes based on the song's personality. They recorded "Bears & Bulls" in a studio they built themselves and they recorded live with almost no overdubs. "Bears & Bulls" is due out July 6th.

From Avi from the Stone Foxes on Robert Johnson:

"Robert Johnson is one of the last truly mysterious people who will ever walk the face of the earth. There are only 2 pictures of him around.Stories of Robert Johnson have been invented, fabricated, and hyperbolized and no one will ever be able to tell the truth from fiction. In many ways, his truth is fiction. These days, we have too much documentation to allow a person like that to exist. In the age of digital photos, Facebook, birth certificates, and laws and regulations, there could never be another Robert Johnson. The lonesome cowboy, the traveling troubadour, the man with no past: these are all people we will never get to meet. Bob Dylan almost succeeded, but failed. I liked the idea that someone living knew the real story of his death, so I tried to give a voice to that character. Wherever he may be..."
