Help...i'm Alive

2022 release. Help... I'm Alive is the declarative statement that will resonate with anyone who has had to adjust to a new normal during the pandemic. The Boxmasters, J.D. Andrew and Billy Bob Thornton, wrote and produced the 12 songs over the past year. The themes of the 60s influenced rock and roll songs describe common feelings of uncertainty, love, fear and hope. Formed in 2007, The Boxmasters have recorded an impressive and diverse catalogue of music that touches on their love of a wide array of influences, but most importantly, the rock and roll of the 1960's. Listening to The Boxmasters, one can hear obvious odes to the Beatles, Byrds and Beach Boys, but also important to The Boxmasters are The Mothers of Invention, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine and Big Star. Since forming The Boxmasters, several long-time friends have contributed to the sound of the band, but the core of The Boxmasters has always been Andrew and Thornton. As primary songwriters, the sound of the Boxmasters has been an evolution as the duo constantly strive to find new inspiration, new sounds and new ways of expressing what is in their hearts and on their minds. But at the core, there is a backbeat, a lyric with meaning and music played with emotion.
