KOKOMO ARNOLD
1934
DECCA 7026
MILK COW BLUES (..Boogie) /
OLD ORIGINAL KOKOMO BLUES (Early Sweet Home Chicago)
1934 Kokomo Arnold with the original version of the blues/rock and roll standard Milk Cow Blues, complete down to the 'Yr gonna neheeed, yr gonna neeheeeed my help someday', of course this song would go on to be covered by standard from Elvis Presley to Eddie Cocrhane to Buddy Duhon on down to Aerosmith and Willie Nelson, basically anybody into the old roots music. Here's the original low down gritty version from a true Master.
Old Original Kokomo Blues is no less historic a side, as this early version would be covered as Sweet Home Chicago by Robert Johnson, Magic Sam, on down to Bonnnie Raitt, Blues Brothers, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Again, some dirty slide guitar here. (You can even find our current President singing it on Youtube if you haven't already)
Condition E- to E, wonderful gloss with only the lightest wear some very superficial scuffs
From AZ Central:
Condition: Beautiful gloss with a few superficial marks and scuffs I'd put it E- to E.
Sound: Check out both sides in their entirety at the above link. A very nice pressing here, with light background noise. You can actually hear Kokomoo moaning and grunting through some of the slide guitar interludes here, sounds like you're in the room with him, (next to a window unit air conditioner set on low, maybe)
