BLACK ROCKERS
VA - More Boss Black Rockers Vol. 01-10 [2023] (10 x CDs)
More Boss Black Rockers Vol. 1-10, is something special. Released by Koko Mojo Records, it continues the legacy of the original Boss Black Rockers series, shining a well-deserved spotlight on the Black artists who helped shape rock and roll. Too often, their contributions get overlooked in mainstream narratives, but this collection makes sure their influence is front and center.
Over ten volumes, More Boss Black Rockers brings together an incredible selection of tracks that capture the raw energy and spirit of early rock and roll. Whether it's jump blues, rhythm and blues, or the pure driving force of rock and roll, these songs showcase the musicians who pushed the genre forward with electrifying performances and infectious rhythms. The beauty of this collection is how it celebrates the diversity within rock and roll, proving that the genre has always been an evolving mix of sounds and influences.
One of the best things about this series is how it feels like a history lesson without ever being dull. Instead of just reading about how Black musicians shaped rock, you hear it—the passion, the innovation, the sheer talent that made the genre so exciting in its early days. The box set is a tribute to the pioneers who laid the foundation for rock and roll as we know it today, and it’s an important reminder that these artists deserve just as much recognition as the household names that followed them.
For anyone who loves exploring the roots of rock and roll, More Boss Black Rockers Vol. 1-10 is a must-listen. It’s packed with infectious energy, iconic performances, and a whole lot of soul. This isn’t just a compilation—it’s a celebration of the artists who made history with their music, whether or not they got the credit they deserved at the time. (B)
