The first Koko-Mojo anthologies were such an unexpected smashing success all around the world, so by popular demand, we finally decided to a vinyl version of each and every one of them. These compilations are featuring a mix of songs that go from well-known to totally obscure. The main 'theme' here is the guitar but we also included songs that are not featuring a guitar as the main instrument to change the menu a bit and give a wider range of moods and sounds for your listening and dancing pleasure. Here at Koko-Mojo, we love vintage black music like blues and rhythm and blues recorded in mono, but we sometimes like to include white artists that recorded cool songs in that style and even stereo songs every once in a while. We believe that after all there are only two types of music good and bad!
Album Tracks 1. Can't Turn Me Around 2. It's a Shame 3. Tell It All to Jesus 4. Somewhere to Lay My Head 5. Glory Glory 6. Tell It 7. Use Me Lord 8. Ask God in Faith 9. Victory 10. We Will Work 11.

This 180 gram vinyl contains 16 classic blues songs from the 1920s and 1930s. The second volume features 'My Black Mama - Part 1 & Part 2' by Son House and 15 more classic blues songs by other great blues singers including Charley Patton, Skip James, Blind Blake, Ma Rainey and others. Miniature versions of the artwork are included on an insert. A few bonus songs are included without images, and all tracks are newly remastered from the finest copies of the original 78 rpm records.
