Release Date: 02/04/22

Shaking, leaping and doing the Hucklebuck - 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.
Dippin' Is My Business, Southern Bred Tennessee and Arkansas Koko Mojo (KM-CD-90) is the fourth 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 Bluesmen of Arkansas recordings were often made at remote locations, and known as field recordings, and this sound is expertly performed by, Sunny Blair and Robert Nighthawk. The artists who managed to record in a studio include, Washboard Sam and His Washboard Band, and from the legendary Sun studio Joe Hill Louis. The ladies of R&B with powerful lungs are; Tiny Davis, songwriter Rose Marie McCoy, and Erline Harris with support from The Johnson Brothers Combo. The Gospel intensity of Lucille Barbee has elements of R&B, or does R&B owe its intensity to Gospel rhythms?
Welbourne, Arkansas -bred Al 'Cake' Wichard Trio features Texan Pee Wee Crayton on guitar, radio Dee Jay Moohah jumps into the recording booth, Crown Prince Waterford is wild, and wacky, and The Hollyhocks perform a title associated with The Prisonaires, who we will encounter later in the series.
