Topic: Kokomo Arnold during blues revival

[Mike Brosnan]

Thank you so much, BH.  I've often wondered about this topic.

Thanks for posting Bunker - really great.  I love this line:

"The less ambitious one is, the happier one is!"

I too, would like to thank you for that wonderful read, BH!

Thanks for all the thanks but I think those two intrepid Frenchmen are those to be thanked.

I did post here (books & articles) a 1995  review of Land Of The Blues from whence all this came.

Click on the Curtis Jones TAG below and it's in the list of previois CJ discussions.

I'm losing the plot. Curtis Jones???  There's a Curtis Jones EP on my desk! I meant Kokomo Arnold.

Thanks for that Alan, great stuff.

Yes, it was great to read about Kokomo Arnold's reaction to "rediscovery".  Very refreshing.  Thanks for posting that, BH.
All best,

Thanks for posting this.

Even if this deprived us of more Kokomo Arnold blues, it is a good thing to know that at least someone of the more important musicians has shown his teeth to the recording and music industry, surely exploitation and danger or "unsteady living" has always been somewhat a steady part of it throughout the history of recording, and has stubbornly (or "proudly") never changed this view, preferring the quiet life.

Kokomo was born today some years ago according to the Blues Calendar!
