Black Pearls Volume 4 – Raw Blues

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.

The company's distribution agents kept on ordering more copies of the album, and we knew our customers were happy with the idea. In 2023 we continue the concept of using related topics and look at space travel using rocking songs. The album’s twenty-eight titles look at intergalactic travel and creatures from another world. The celestial assortment of rockin’ songs is about; Flyin' Saucer Boogie, Rockin' On The Moon, Satellite Love, and Astronauts. The interplanetary rockers are sourced from the genres of Rhythm & Blues, Rockabilly, and Rock ‘n’ Roll music, and we include several lesser-known recordings within the album.
