Kokomo Arnold - Old original kokomo blues, Decca, 78 RPM

Kokomo Arnold
1940s1946youtube

This is the flip side to Milk cow blues, recorded in september 1934 and released in October of the same year. It was originally on a blue Decca label, however this black Decca label with gold text is a reissue from 1946. The record is quite worn but still a great listen I think, so hope you enjoy it as much as I do. #blues #rarerecords #78rpm #kokomoarnold #shellac #recordcollection #recordcollector #vinylcommunity

About Kokomo Arnold

James "Kokomo" Arnold (February 15, 1896 or 1901 – November 8, 1968) was an American blues musician. A left-handed slide guitarist, his intense style of playing and rapid-fire vocal delivery set him apart from his contemporaries. He got his nickname in 1934 after releasing "Old Original Kokomo Blues" for Decca Records, a cover version of Scrapper Blackwell's blues song about the city of Kokomo, Indiana.
