Bridging the gap from the third instalment in the series ‘Rockin’ Soul Party’ is volume number four. With Mr. Rhythm and Soul situated in El Paso, Texas, and tasked with loading up another thirty tracks of rhythm and blues and early soul from the years beginning in 1957 and leading up to 1963, the latest album ‘Rockin’ Soul Party Vol. 4’ contains many established names such as Ike and Tina Turner, The Orioles, The Drifters, The Coasters, Marvin Gaye, and Sam Cooke. It makes for a real source of power, but also offers insights of the early stages of their careers and early indicators of the greatness that was emerging from many of these artists. It is the blending of traditional rhythm and blues with blues and gospel that led to the formation of the sound known as soul music. Such variety can be heard emanating from the speakers once this latest volume gets underway. But given the larger profiles of the artists already mentioned, no album escapes the Koko Mojo injection of obscurities featuring musicians less prevalent when it comes to such compilations. Therefore, step forward Bernard Byers with track ‘Sitting By The River’, and rare doo wop from The Danleers and ‘I’m Looking Around’, not forgetting Rivals who bring the rhythm and blues to ‘Love Me’. An album that is equal to all its previous volumes and one that comes housed inside environmentally sound packaging complete with detailed notes, and with all tracks mastered for the best possible sound, there really is no argument when it comes to ‘Rockin’ Soul Party Vol. 4’ because it’s an essential addition to anyone’s record collection with a keen taste for early soul music.
