Boss Black Rockers - Vol. 6 - Mardi Gras Rock - V/A

Afro-American music, namely blues and rhythm‘nblues, gave the hillbilly and country sound of the 30s and 40s the wings, or rather the hips, in order to take on a worldwide triumph as rock'n‘ roll. Although “Rock'n'Roll” was also a label to introduce white audiences to the infamous “black” Rhythm'n'Blues, its protagonists did not stop playing their newly named music in the 50s, long before that Civil Rights Movement, popular music built the first delicate bridges between the separate spheres of "Black and White".

With the fourth "Boss Black Rockers" episode, 28 songs again show the vitality of rhythm'n'blues, many of which are only known to connoisseurs, including artists such as JOE TEX, THE EGYPTIANS, CLARENCE "FROGMAN" HENRY, ROBERT PARKER, THE VIBES, ROY “MR. GUITAR “GAINES, BILLY LAMONT,“ BIG ”AL DOWNING, JIM BREEDLOVE and many more.
