We are celebrating 90 Years Since Prohibition Ended with 30 great songs. Cheers!
Atomicat Records (ACCD145) 90 Years Since Prohibition Ended, The Rockers, Booze Party is the response in hindsight to the National Prohibition Act, and the thirty songs challenge the preposterous law in verse. The National Prohibition Act, known informally as the Volstead Act aim was to make the selling of intoxicating liquids illegal, and the prohibition of consuming alcoholic beverages became law on 17th January 1920. The Anti-Saloon League's Wayne Wheeler conceived and drafted the bill, which was named after Andrew Volstead, who was the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, who managed the legislation. The thirteen years of 'dry times' ended on 5th December1933.
It must be said that the soda pop middle-class American years of Rock 'n' Roll was limited in alcohol songs titles, therefore included are some hillbilly rockers to keep the music 100 percent proof! Additionally not all the songs have an alcohol related title and the booze reference is hidden in the lyric. The consequence of the Prohibition ruling was the Mob (gangsters) took control of the outlawed booze industry. Our historic series Atomicat Records (ACCD145) 90 Years Since Prohibition Ended, The Rockers, Booze Party will be followed up by Koko Mojo Records (KM-CD-180) 90 Years Since Prohibition Ended, The R&B Rockers, Sloppy Drunk.
