Setting their stall out for the first time is The Backyard Casanovas with Backyard Stomp. A debut album conceived after a few practice sessions, followed by a couple of live performances, before being captured on film by Bopflix Films, not to mention a few rounds of a local homebrew to ensure morale was at its highest, to realise that there may just be something in this new project.

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 "Easy Does It" so I decided to simply (and cleverly) call it "MORE Boss Black Rockers".

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. 10: Lonely Lonely Train continues its 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, where you will hear established artists rubbing shoulders with the obscure. This is merely one segment of the attraction 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.
Quick, flip that last quarter for the final visit to 50’s rock ‘n’ roll! Perusing the lengthy list of rock ‘n’ roll contenders from the setlist of More Boss Black Rockers Vol. 10: Lonely Lonely Train, any attempt to arrive at a favourite makes for an impossible task because, quite simply, there’s not a dud in the house. There’s diversity aplenty with this closing chapter, ranging from vocal harmony groups, rhythm & blues and, of course, rock ‘n’ roll. It’s that last genre which is the main focus as it makes its presence felt via opening salvo ‘Hickory Dickory Dock’ (Big Boy Myles), Jimmy Williams’ ‘C’mon Baby’, Edwin and Alvin’s ‘Shiverin’ and Shakin’, before Sonny Anderson enters the ring with Johnny and Dorsey’s ‘Lonely Lonely Train’. Further interest is generated by the vocal harmonies of The Jarmels’ ‘She Loves To Dance’, The Guytones’ ‘Baby I Don’t Care’, before shifting slightly with Little Richard who serves up a classy reminder with ‘Ain’t Nothin’ Happening’.

Black Pearls Volume 5 - Let’s Rock and Roll
Best sellers
Doo-wop is not just for Christmas. A genre often associated with the festive period at the tail end of every year, and synonymous with a picture book setting of Christmas given the radiating warmth of harmonious vocals encased in gold, and emanating from the voices of a truly gifted combo. A false representation however, because doo-wop is music fit for any occasion.
Much more than the imaginative associations of a Christmas backdrop that, granted, doo-wop possesses the power to conjure such picturesque imagery, but on an entirely different trajectory doo-wop also has the ability to portray emotions where melancholy is present whether due to economic hardships or universal theme of relationship woes. It’s in these moments where we all feel something, and there is no genre better equipped with the right utensils (i.e. Vocals) to convey such emotions, in addition to providing solace from difficulties that life has a tendency to produce.
Different in comparison with the wild shenanigans of rock ‘n’ roll, and different given the approach of this latest compilation series from the good folks at Koko Mojo, the genre of doo-wop makes numerous connections with the genre of blues during Blues Meets Doo Wop Volume 1.

“Koko Mojo Records’ new series Sin On Saturday, Pray On Sunday initiates with three albums (KM-CD-135-136-137). The concept looks at the weekend for the Negro people after the toil of working has ended. On Saturday evening they are sinners; drinking, partying and dancing to Jump Blues music. On Sunday they need redemption from their sins and attend a church where they listen to rousing upbeat Gospel songs. Each album contains twenty-eight up-tempo recordings and maintains Koko Mojo’s principle of "killer and no filler" ideology!”

Black Pearls Vol.6 “Get Your Enjoys!” (Koko Mojo)
Expanding its collection of blues and rhythm and blues songs is album number six in the compelling series Black Pearls. Issued via Koko Mojo, the person responsible for the Black Pearls album series is Ronni Boysen, a multi-award winning blues guitarist from Denmark and, for those in the know, the founding member of The Kokomo Kings (See Rhythm Bomb Records for the band’s albums because they are worth checking out!), in addition to performing with Mud Morganfield Band (son of Muddy Waters) for the past thirteen years. With such talent and knowledge given the accompanying information regarding Ronni Boysen’s record buying habits and therefore ever-expanding collection, the giveaway are the many delightful records found in this album series so far. Volume Six, “Get Your Enjoys!”, features another twenty-eight tracks for your listening and/or dancing pleasures, and mixes some well-known artists with a considerable amount of lesserknown names as well. Such combinations often make for an interesting listen, and it’s safe to say that Black Pearls “Get Your Enjoys!” continues the winning combination. Evidence for such a statement can be heard through artists and tracks including Sugar Boy Williams’ ‘Little Girl’, Billy Guy (‘As Quiet As It’s Kept’), The Lamplighters doo-wop inspired ‘Hug A Little’, Little Buck (‘So Fine, So Sweet’), and Young Jessie with ‘Do You Love Me’. What is noticeable with this particular collection is the more measured pace of the songs, and this adds variation to the album series from what’s been issued to date. With female artists also represented here, with excellent performances from Varetta Dillard with ‘That’s Why I Cry’, Big Maybelle and ‘Goin’ Home Baby’, to Annie Laurie (‘Nobody’s Gonna Hurt You’), there is even more balance and variation, leaving only but high praise indeed for Black Pearls Vol.6 “Get Your Enjoys!”.

Black Pearls Vol.7 “Oh! What A Wonderful Time” (Koko Mojo)
Gathering pace is the album series Black Pearls. Now on its seventh album, Koko Mojo continues to provide coverage for more blues and rhythm and blues compiled by Ronni Boysen, a multi-award winning blues guitarist from Denmark and, for those in the know, the founding member of The Kokomo Kings (See Rhythm Bomb Records for the band’s albums because they are worth checking out!), in addition to performing with Mud Morganfield Band (son of Muddy Waters) for the past thirteen years. With such talent and knowledge given by the accompanying information regarding Ronni Boysen’s record buying habits and therefore ever-expanding collection, the giveaway are the many delightful records found in this album series so far. Volume Seven, “Oh! What A Wonderful Time”, features another twenty-eight tracks for your listening and/or dancing pleasures, and mixes some well-known artists with a considerable amount of lesserknown names as well. Such combinations often make for an interesting listen, and it’s safe to say that Black Pearls “Oh! What A Wonderful Time” continues the, by now, winning formula. Evidence for such an announcement can be heard throughout the latest album whether it’s opening song ‘Done Done The Slop’ by Ervin Rucker, or later on Percy Mayfield offering up ‘Loose Lips’, to Jimmy Witherspoon bringing up ‘Big Daddy’, Dolores Ware and ‘Is It True’, or classic from Johnny Guitar Watson with ‘The Bear’. There’s doo-wop track ‘Rumblin’ Tumblin’ Baby’ presented by Emeralds, to popcorn-rhythm and blues number ‘Listen Baby’ with a commanding performance by Angel Face With The Swing Masters. Ending Volume 7, “Oh! What A Wonderful Time” with two belters; the first from Big Sam & The House Wreckers’ with ‘At The Party’, and then following this with the instrumental ‘The Swinging Thing’ by Jimmy McCracklin, will leave the listener craving more but, rest assured, any such desires will soon be satisfied once the next instalment of this album series is released.
