Various Artists - More Boss Black Rockers 10: Lonely Lonely Train (Various Artists) - VINYL LP

Dear Cats and Kittens, dig this cool array of killer black rock and roll from the InchGolden AgeInch of American music. So many similar projects were devoted through the years to white rock and rollers (even the most obscure and unknown) and very little to the people that not only InchoriginatedInch this music and played it long before white musicians started to fool around with it. They also continued to play it when black InchRhythm and BluesInch music was suddenly re-named InchRock and RollInch to appeal to a wider white audience in segregated America and became a multi-racial genre in the mid-1950s. Some tunes on InchBoss Black RockersInch are pretty well-known and some are pretty obscure - even if a lot of those were actually pretty popular in the 1950s among both black and white Rock and Roll fans. Most of the artists in this series were actually household names in the InchRock and Roll WorldInch of the '50s and early '60s. I sure hope with this great series to finally set things straight. After the massive success of this series on CD, we finally decided to InchBoss Black RockersInch on vinyl LPs, cherry-picking the best songs (a very hard task) from each and every volume. Dig it!

Vinyl LP pressing. This is a call to all rock 'n' roll Kats and Kittens! It is time to rejoice and invest time once again with some rock 'n' roll history straight from the vaults of Koko Mojo Records. Lowering it's winch into a seemingly endless pit of rock 'n' roll discovery and emerging triumphant with another round of Boss Black Rockers is Koko Mojo Records. After the phenomenal success of it's first ten volumes, the attitude, If it ain't broke, don't fix it was soon adopted once the good folks (namely Little Victor Mac, Eamonn Doyle, Sven T. Uhrmann, Blackshack Recordings) at Koko Mojo realised there was a lot more wax in the tank to see another run of this exceptional album series come to fruition. Issued under the rightful title, More Boss Black Rockers, The Mojo Man was charged with the (enviable) task of bringing these albums to life. To achieve such an outcome, More Boss Black Rockers Vol. 6 Everything's Cool continues it's exploration of Black African American rock 'n' roll by mining deep into the heart of a traditional rhythm and blues scene of 50's America that eventually became rock 'n' roll, and where you will hear established artists rubbing shoulders with the obscure. This is merely one segment of the attraction here, because the sounds blaring from the adjacent speakers is often wild in nature, raw and dangerous, just as it is scintillating, not to mention unhinged rock 'n' roll. Let's face it, it's the kinds of sounds that no doubt left many a jaw gaping as rock 'n' roll was ushered into the world for the very first time upon an innocent public, before evolving into the next big thing and continuing to resonate in the present with an equally feisty presence.
