BOTTLENECK GUITAR TRENDSETTERS OF THE 1930S

Casey Bill Weldon and James Kokomo?Arnold never worked together, performed?together, or collaborated on any songs, as?so many of their pre-World War II blues?contemporaries often did. It's unknown if?they even ever met each other in their?travels. In spite of these, there remains a?connecting thread between these two?disparate bluesmen: slide guitar. Both?performed the style through unorthodox?means, (Arnold with a left-handed guitar,?and Weldon with a rarely used Hawaiian?steel guitar) but both were highly integral?towards blues' development, and were?immensely influential to future slide?guitarists, and the developing Chicago?blues of Muddy Waters, and many more.?Yazoo now presents a definitive collection?of material from these revolutionary?bluesmen: Bottleneck Guitar Trendsetters?of the 1930s. Featuring 14 tracks, with a?side dedicated to each performer, and the?spotlight shone brightly upon Weldon?and Arnold's unique, innovative styles?of performance.??Casey Bill Weldon A1.
