After such a successful run that was the first album series of ‘Boss Black Rockers’, Koko Mojo with the guiding hand of The Mojo Man (aka Little Victor Mac) sets up another series under the heading ‘More Boss Black Rockers: Guitar Pickin’ Fool’. Providing much information via tracks and liner notes presented in a trifold digipak bearing in mind current environmental concerns, ‘More Boss Black Rockers: Guitar Pickin’ Fool’ basically continues where series one left off. In other words, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it because more often than not the twenty-eight-track list offered a delightful and seriously high-octane rush of rock ‘n’ roll from the original rock ‘n’ rollers (i.e., The Black artists either overlooked or simply given less coverage). Therefore, inside information gets Volume One off to a flyer via Tony Harris and song ‘Chicken, Baby, Chicken’ with powerhouse vocals and a punchy rhythm section. The wildness continues with Bobby Brookes resembling a not-too-distant relation of Jackie Wilson during the mighty fine ‘Looka, Looka, Looka’, to next in line Otis Riley including a touch of the personal to ‘Rock And Roll Riley’. If series one of ‘Boss Black Rockers’ proved not only an irresistible pull due to high level of rock ‘n’ roll on display, then ‘More Boss Black Rockers Vol. 1’ will not disappoint for the same reasons, but also for the inclusion of many lesser known or less-featured artists or songs that are a touch harder to find when it comes to other similar compilations. For instant memories, then press play to tracks by H-Bomb Ferguson ‘Mary Little Mary’ where his vocals alone is enough to convince of the greatness here, to fast and frantic tempo of ‘Goin’ Goin’ Gone’ from vocal group The Jewels, before landing at the doorstep of wheeling rhythm and blues/rock ‘n’ roll of terrific ‘No Haps’ by Roy Wright. Ooh! We are in the land of rock ‘n’ roll goodness when it comes to the second instalment of album series of ‘More Boss Black Rockers Vol. 1: Guitar Pickin’ Fool’, and that is fact!
