Southern Bred: 11 Texas R&b Rockers (Various Artists)

• Track Listing

The concept of these albums allows to source a variety of wide-ranging choice of music chosen by the theme of birth, which makes the aural sound of the album different to that of a label-based collection. Sitting comfortably side by side are Country Blues Shufflers, Rhythm & Blues and Rock 'n' Roll music. The mixed variety of artists include, H.B. Barnum whose career in music was wide-ranging, here he is featured as a solo performer and part of a group that recorded the original version of a multi-million selling hit instrumental. The two showcased ladies are Viviane Greene who is a "supreme" performer and living legend Barbara Lynn who boldly covers an all-time classic. Hot Rhythm & Blues music graces the album from; Harmonica Slim, Pee Wee Crayton, Charles Brown, Goree Carter & His Hep Cats, Joe "Papoose" Fritz and Walter Brown. Boogie rockers are heard from, Little Willie Jackson and Willie Johnson. Texas Bred artists who established a career on the West Coast are; Young Jesse who offers something different musically, Doo Wop artist Don Julian along with his group The Meadowlarks, the musically gifted Jesse Belvin and band leader Ernie Fields. As with every album, there is more music to hear and enjoy and the vibrant music has a pleasing up-tempo feel throughout. This Koko Mojo album is compiled by well-known Dee Jay and face on the music scene Mark Armstrong, who has been Dee Jaying since his early teen years.
