This song and Robert Johnson's "SWEET HOME CHICAGO" are in fact covers of SCRAPPER BLACKWELL'S "Kokomo BLues" !! And R.J. is not the author of that song !!

It seems like Kokomo was a huge influence on Dylan or is it just me? The way he raises his voice at parts of the song, the blues chord progressions with those soft folk overtones, this is all very dylan-esque, he was surely influenced by this, no?

The singing sort of sounds like Broonzy; or is it the other way around?
Either way, it is a great record.

From Wikipedia search; Kokomo Arnold
...His major influence upon modern music is, along with Peetie Wheatstraw, upon the seminal delta blues artist Robert Johnson, a musical contemporary. Johnson turned "Old Original Kokomo Blues" into "Sweet Home Chicago", while another Arnold song, "Sagefield Woman Blues", introduced the terminology "dust my broom", which Johnson used as a song title himself...

And I guess Kokomo got it from Scrapper Blackwell (just watched the video of "Kokomo Blues" that you posted , thanks) . It sounds like Robert Johnson listened to both of them and took different things...You can also tell RJ listened to a lot of Skip James and Lonnie Johnson...

Pretty sure this is where Robert Johnson got "Sweet Home Chicago"...used to have it on vynal w/ Pettie Wheatstraw on the other side...awesome , haven't heard this in a Long time...
