The house will be rocking all night long - 28 rockin Blues tracks from Tennessee and Arkansas
The concept of Southern Bred Tennessee and Arkansas allows the sourcing of a variety of wide-ranging black music chosen by the theme of birth to be collected onto the albums. The series like its predecessors are made by people who are active on the music scene, for people who enjoy the excellence of sound and quality of music. The series concept is to research an artist's birth state and compile albums around their Southern Bred heritage. By doing so the musical concept radically differs from that of a regional or label-based compilation and therefore opens the variety of sound within the album and series.
Rough Lover, Southern Bred Tennessee and Arkansas Koko Mojo (KM-CD-89) is the third look at the birth heritage of Tennessee and Arkansas which is consolidated into the anthology due to it being referred to as West Memphis.
The performers on the third episode have a fresh and often different musical approaches and variety is the spice of life. From the Blues arena are, the Gunter brothers Al and Arthur, and Joe Hill Louis. Rhythm & Blues artists of excellence include; Big John Greer, Ted Jarrett, a man at the dawn of his career Jimmy McCracklin, and hard drinker Cecil Gant. The changing direction of the sound is from; the over-looked Bobby Hebb, the future Lady of Soul Music Aretha Franklin, and two soloists who teamed up for a 45 rpm Charlie & Rosie.
Our Southern Bred albums have; sleeve notes which are written by series compiler Mark Armstrong, stunning design from design artist Michael van Merwyk, and twenty-eight songs, remastered at Black Shack Studios by our sound expert Heiko Schultz. The disc is housed in an attractively designed cardboard sleeve, specially designed to avoid the use of plastic and be environmentally friendly. You are listening to music from the past and preserving the future! Koko Mojo Records 'often imitated, never duplicated.'
