"Ford cars were an affordable drive, and from the late 1940s onwards youths customised them into hot rods with twin pipes and a Columbia butt. For you folks who don't dig the jive, that's two carburettors and an overdrive.The thirty song album 121 Years Of The Ford Car is a rockin' tribute in music to Henry Ford's designs." The Atomicat Records Anniversary series shines its headlights onto Henry Ford's company and celebrates 121 Years Of The Ford Car (ACCD147). "Well gather around friends while I tell you a story about a Model-A Ford." In words and music, we explore Ford cars' influence and appearance in music. This album is dedicated to Henry Ford's dream and the brand which became synonymous with the "Fabulous Fifties." The Ford Motor Company was founded by Henry Ford on the 16th of June 1903, and in that year the company produced the first Model-A car. Atomicat Records celebrates 121 years of the Ford car with thirty songs, one of which is from 1948, and the remainder are sourced from the years 1952 through to 1962. The featured songs were inspired by the automobile whether in title, verse, or simply the artists took the group name from a Ford model. The album's music is sourced from several genres; jumping Rhythm & Blues, beatie Rock 'n’ Roll, rustic Hillbilly, and sweet Doo-Wop.

Doo-wop is not just for Christmas. A genre often associated with the festive period at the tail end of every year, and synonymous with a picture book setting of Christmas given the radiating warmth of harmonious vocals encased in gold, and emanating from the voices of a truly gifted combo. A false representation however, because doo-wop is music fit for any occasion. Much more than the imaginative associations of a Christmas backdrop that, granted, doo-wop possesses the power to conjure such picturesque imagery, but on an entirely different trajectory doo-wop also has the ability to portray emotions where melancholy is present whether due to economic hardships or universal theme of relationship woes. It’s in these moments where we all feel something, and there is no genre better equipped with the right utensils (i.e. Vocals) to convey such emotions, in addition to providing solace from difficulties that life has a tendency to produce. Different in comparison with the wild shenanigans of rock ‘n’ roll, and different given the approach of this latest compilation series from the good folks at Koko Mojo, the genre of doo-wop makes numerous connections with the genre of blues during Blues Meets Doo Wop Volume 4.

"The Chuck Berry Sound contains thirty up-tempo titles by thirty artists recorded from 1955 through to 1963. The enrapturing rhythm rockers are cover-versions or inspired by the boss guitar man Chuck Berry's legacy." This album is dedicated to legendary St. Louis, Missouri-bred Charles Edward Anderson whose style, elegance and lyrics inspired the artists on the Atomicat Album The Chuck Berry Sound (ACCD162) with thirty songs from thirty artists from the Golden Years 1955 through to 1963. It's got a backbeat, you can't lose it, any old time you use it, it's gotta be "Chuck Berry influenced" music if you wanna dance with me.
