Various Artists - More Boss Black Rockers 3: All Shook Up (Various Artists) - VINYL LP

Ladies, gentlemen, and anyone in between, after the massive (and I must say unexpected) success of the 10-volume series InchBoss Black RockersInch I decided to get back to work and found 280 new tracks for a new series of ten killer volumes. I focused on stuff never or rarely heard anywhere else and also not already been used for other Koko-Mojo Records compilations. That was actually pretty easy. The hard part was finding a cool name for this new series. More often than not InchEasy Does ItInch so I decided to simply (and cleverly) call it InchMORE Boss Black RockersInch. As y'all already know, 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 Rhythm and Blues 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. Once again, some tunes are pretty well-known, but the vast majority are not. Chances are that you never-ever heard a lot of the tracks included here - even if a lot of them were pretty popular in the 1950s among both black and white Rock and Roll fans. Most of the artists in this new series (just like the first one) were actually household names in the InchRock and Roll WorldInch of the '50s and early '60s. When Rock & Roll history was re-written from a strictly white rock standpoint only a few black rockers were included (maybe less than a dozen) when actually back in the day almost every African-American R&B act (maybe a MILLION or more) was actually Rock & Roll and white artists were actually a minority for a long time. So InchBLACKInch by popular demand here's to you InchMORE Boss Black Rockers.Inch

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.
