{"product_id":"kokomo-arnold-collection-1930-38-cd","title":"Kokomo Arnold - Collection 1930-38 [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames \"Kokomo\" Arnold was a blues singer, songwriter and left-handed slide guitarist from Georgia, who eventually landed up in Chicago where he ran a bootlegging business during the prohibition years of the 1920s. After making a record in Memphis in 1930 under the name of Gitfiddle Jim, he started playing professionally in Chicago when prohibition came to an end in 1933, and began recording for Decca after being introduced to producer Mayo Williams. He recorded regularly in Chicago from 1934 to 1937, sometimes working with pianist Peetie Wheatstraw, and wrote and recorded many songs which proved highly influential in later years. This great-value 49-track 2-CD collection comprises selected A and B sides of the 40 or so solo releases he had during his career, which we trust provides a substantial and representative cross-section of his career output, before he became disillusioned and simply gave up performing and recording when he realised how little he was making from his work. It features his most influential songs, including \"Original Kokomo Blues\", the song which gave him his name, and which Robert Johnson adapted as \"Sweet Home Chicago\", \"Millk Cow Blues\", which Johnson also adapted as \"Milkcow Calf's Blues\" and was later recorded by Elvis Presley, \"Sagefield Woman Blues\", which introduced the phrase \"dust my broom\" into blues parlance, and \"Sissy Man Blues\". It's a fascinating showcase for a performer who had a significant influence during his short career as a recording artist\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaddlin' Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilk Cow Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Original Kokomo Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSagefield Woman Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack to the Woods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSissy Man Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Black Cat Blues (Jinx Blues)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilk Cow Blues No.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Money Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Long, How Long Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Twelves (The Dirty Dozen)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlop Jar Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCause You're Dirty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilk Cow Blues No.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Leg Mama (John Russel Blues)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonday Morning Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBusy Bootin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolicy Wheel Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraveling Rambler Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Door Blues (3220 Blues)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilk Cow Blues No.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown and Out Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Get Enough of That Stuff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'll Be Up Some Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStop Look and Listen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet Your Money Talk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMule Laid Down and Died\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake That Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning Drunk Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMister Charlie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonesome Road Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalty Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSister Jane Cross the Hall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild Water Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaugh and Grin Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackfence Picket Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Mattie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed Beans and Rice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet Down Gal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShine on Moon (Shine Shine on)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead Cuttin' Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Bone Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuddie Brown Blues (Rolling Time)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKid Man Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoing Down in Galilee (Swing Along with Me)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething's Hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Ways and Actions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBad Luck Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Well Is Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 824046335526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acrobat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.9.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59581327867985,"sku":"84117","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/3851545-2596886.jpg?v=1780059799","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/es\/products\/kokomo-arnold-collection-1930-38-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
