Notes
R&B Hell Raisers Volume 2 (KM-CD-191) from Koko Mojo Records features thirty bawdy Rhythm & Blues titles which are in the same vain as volume one. The early year songs are from 1934 (one song), 1947 (two songs) with the balance being from 1950 through to 1961. The album has several musical focuses; drinking, drugs, relationships, sex, murder, and incarceration. The artists range from well-known; Cab Calloway, and Smiley Lewis, the known to collectors, Crawford Brothers, and the Three Bits of Rhythm, and the great-unknowns for the general music fan, Bobby Smith, and Jimmy (Mr. Blues) Williams. Most importantly the album contains music from that will move your feet and capture your ears attention!
