VARIOUS – HORROR SHOW – A KOKO MOJO HALLOWEEN – CD

 

Everything about this record is great, from the first to the last song and a big plus is also the outstanding artwork (by Dayvk Martins) that really hit the spot. The Ernie Freeman Combo with “Theme From Igor” opens the party, followed by Betty Lavette with “Witchcraft In the Air.” The Del Vikings are next with”Voodoo Man” and Louis Armstrong doing “Spooks.” A cavalcade of Halloween gems by The Emersons, The Tip Tops, the Bees, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Bobby Garret, and many more will also scare the hell out of you. The title track “Horror Show” by Johnny Thunder (the ORIGINAL one, not the 1970s dude from The New York Dolls) is also a very solid number. A few “funny” ones like The Munmmy” by Bob McFadden And Dor are also included. This CD is so good that you can listen to it all year long because the vast majority of the songs here are pretty darn good and worth a listen even outside the “Halloween” contest. As the “Mojo” Man say: All fine frame, no parts lame – DIG IT!
