kokomo arnold and the lost sound of acoustic blues

submitted by enoch

1 decade 1 year ago

rock and roll has much to thank from a generation of guitar blues players who never gained fame nor money but their legacy can be heard from the earliest of rock tunes to the present.

left to obscurity,poverty and more often outright plagerism.many of those early blues players may have influenced so much we know today in modern music but they were left to fade into obscurity.
kokomo arnold was one of those blues artists.

so it tickles me when i find people who give a nod to that lost generation and give a salute in the form of a cover.

this dude is pretty fly for a white guy.

Handsome devil....

He reminds me of someone...

Handsome devil....

So now as blues goes, Kokomo Arnold did gain fame and money during his lifetime, and I'd imagine he pretty much rolled in it till after prohibition when he had to start making a living with music instead of liquor.
