2018 two CD collection. This updated collection of Chuck Brown's hits replaces The Best of Chuck Brown and includes seven tracks not previously available and twelve tracks not on the previous Best Of, all remastered for this definitive collection. Chuck Brown created Washington DC's Go-Go sound in the early '70s and scored his biggest hit with Bustin' Loose in 1978, sampled in Nelly's smash 'Hot in Herre' in 2002. His most prolific period of recording came in the final 12 years of his life, when he released five Billboard charting albums including the #1 Billboard Independent, #2 Billboard R&B charting We're About the Business in 2007. A posthumous album Beautiful Life was released in 2014. In 2016 BET's Unsung released a Chuck Brown episode, Chuck Brown was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and a Chuck Brown Lottery Ticket was released. A significant Chuck Brown exhibit lives at the Smithsonian National African American Museum of History and Culture. Washington, DC renamed a street in DC InchChuck Brown WayInch during his lifetime, and after his loss the 1.8 million dollar Chuck Brown Memorial Park was unveiled. His music continues to be licensed, including in a recent episode of The Simpsons and Unsolved. The Chuck Brown Band continues to perform, keeping his music and legacy alive.

The 4th record from this amazing Rockin Blues outfit from Sweden/Denmark. Again, all songs are originally written by bass player Magnus. Delicious artwork by Henrique San. Our highlights are InchBuckle UpInch and InchJump Like A ChickenInch both dancefloor fillers! The Swedish-danish band The Kokomo Kings has gained a reputation of playing an uncompromising brew on a variety of low down rocking roots music, grounded deep in the blues. They have been described as being Inchmore rock'n'roll than rock'n'rollInch and having Inchenergy level 11Inch. In 2018 The Ameripolitan Music Awards in Memphis nominated the band for the best rockabilly band-award, and the same year they won the InchBand of the YearInch-award from the Blues Lounge Radio Show in the U.K.

Take a big bucket of unpolished Mississippi juke joint boogie and blend it with another bucket of laid back down home blues. Add a teacup of swamp pop, a tablespoon of hillbilly and a pound of profane, ecstatic gospel and you´ll have the Kokomo Kings. This is rock´n´roll before rock´n´roll was born. Nothing but primitive, groovy Saturday-night music made for dancing
