The Domino Kings aren't the only band from Springfield, MO, you've never heard of, but they're probably the best. Their brand of hard-rockin', honky-tonk swing reverberates like a drunken earthquake. Lead singer, main songwriter, and rhythm guitarist Stevie Newman's warble is part Hank Snow, part Buck Owens, and part perfect.
