Kokomo Arnold and Casey Bill Weldon were two fo the most popular and original-sounding bottleneck guitarists of the Thirties, a generally dismal period for blues recording. In terms of contemporary appeal (the only yardstick that mattered to bluesmen themselves) they far outstripped Robert Johnson, Bukka White, and other bottleneck artists of the era. As musicians, neither fits any of the usual musical stereotypes applied to blues players. Arnold, a left handed guitarist, confronts the listener as one of the zaniest, most manic guitarists ever recorded; Weldon’s work is an outright rejection of traditional blues harmony, and invites comparison to Western swing.
