Two albums with the harmonica in mind (The next is to follow) from Koko Mojo. First consideration is the not so amicable reception of the album title ‘Go Away’. Delving into the album contents, however, provides a less frosty reception with a mouth-watering twenty-eight tracks consisting of blues and rhythm and blues for your enjoyment. Once underway, and eventually reaching its conclusion, the latest in this album series reveals there’s not a dud track in sight. First is Willie Nix and the wiry texture of ‘Just Can’t Stay’. From there it is left to numerous quick tempos of excellent ‘Uncle Bud’ by Sonny Terry and with the harmonica providing the fuel, to genuine feel of wheels in motion via puff and smoke ‘Goin’ Back To New Orleans’ from Jesse and Buzzy, to more lively additions by way of Buster Brown and track ‘Two Women’ and Joe Hill Louis with ‘Hydramatic Woman’. It’s a real blues fest of an album to be honest with the harmonica on fine form and giving added oomph to many of the lively rhythms on offer, which leaves ‘Go Away’ as another notch on the post labelled “highest quality” of this exceptionally fine series.
