This is a call to all rock 'n' roll Kats and Kittens! It is time to rejoice and invest time once again with some rock 'n' roll history straight from the vaults of Koko Mojo Records. Lowering its winch into a seemingly endless pit of rock 'n' roll discovery and emerging triumphant with another round of Boss Black Rockers is Koko Mojo Records. After the phenomenal success of its first ten volumes, the attitude, If it ain't broke, don't fix it was soon adopted once the good folks (namely Little Victor Mac, Eamonn Doyle, Sven T. Uhrmann, Blackshack Recordings) at Koko Mojo realised there was a lot more wax in the tank to see another run of this exceptional album series come to fruition. Issued under the rightful title, More Boss Black Rockers, The Mojo Man was charged with the (enviable) task of bringing these albums to life. To achieve such an outcome, More Boss Black Rockers Vol. 5: Sure Look Good To Me continues its exploration of Black African American rock 'n' roll by mining deep into the heart of a traditional rhythm and blues scene of 50's America that eventually became rock 'n' roll, and where you will hear established artists rubbing shoulders with the obscure. This is merely one segment of the attraction here, because the sounds blaring from the adjacent speakers is often wild in nature, raw and dangerous, just as it is scintillating, not to mention unhinged rock 'n' roll. Let's face it, it's the kinds of sounds that no doubt left many a jaw gaping as rock 'n' roll was ushered into the world for the very first time upon an innocent public, before evolving into the next big thing and continuing to resonate in the present with an equally feisty presence.
