Kokomo Arnold (1901 – 1968) was an American blues musician. Born as James Arnold in Lovejoys Station, Georgia, he got his nickname in 1934 after releasing Old Original Kokomo Blues for the Decca label; it was a cover of the Scrapper Blackwell blues song about the city of Kokomo, Indiana. A left-handed slide guitarist, he had an intense slide style of playing and rapid-fire vocal style that set him apart from his contemporaries. youtu.be/mI8yUsS4En4
