Bluesman Kokomo Arnold (1901-1968) wrote and recorded “Milk Cow Blues” on 10 September 1934, the American Western Swing fiddler Johnny Lee Wills (1912-1984) recorded the 8th Cover of the song on 28 April 1941, and released in September 1941. By the time a young 19 Year old Memphis truck driver kid called Elvis Presley recorded his version which was the 12th Cover of Milk Cow Blues, on 10 December 1954, the song was older (1934) than he was (b,1935), Elvis changed the Lyrics and arrangement and done a fine different rockabilly version which was released on 8 January 1955, it did not chart Nationally.
The first version I ever heard of this song was by Aerosmith in 1977 . It really blew me away!! I love the Kinks version too. But this original is absolutely awesome. This is the first time I've ever heard his version, and here it is 2022. I'm so ashamed of myself.
That's the great thing about getting older.....there's always something new to learn. I've only heard Presley's version. NEVER heard this B 4 and it's 2024.
Amazing singer! You can hear that pretty much every rock artist is inspired by him, especially Little Richard. Btw, this must've been where Bob Dylan got Quit Your Low Down Ways.
just leave your hateful comments to yourself, i realise this reply is a year late, and im sure you've grown up since you posted this hateful criticism but this is just to remind you that you're a worthless shit-eater with nothing to contribute to the earth other than the remains of your decomposing dead body. have a good one.
@@gohan4130 I think it's an original but there are earlier recorded songs of the same name. However, Arnold's lyrics and guitar playing all differ from those earlier versions.

+Jack “Odysseus” Koff That's cause Aerosmith and everyone else covered Elvis' version of this song not Kokomo's. Elvis practically made a new song with his version..
Kokomo is considered the original source for this song (yes, there is a previous history prior to Kokomo), but it was, I believe, made famous by Bob Wills, NOT by Elvis
The Kinks totaly rearranged that song and made the best and wildest version of it ! But who really wrote it first? Is it Sleepy John Estes, who is credited on all Kinks record? Or Kokomo Arnold? Or Marion Warren Smith (see his granddaughter's comment down there) ?
I was told when i was a little girl that kokimo Arnold did not write milk cow blues my grandfather marion warren smith sold that song to him for 50 dollar's so he could feed his kids but they made an agreement that if it ever made a hit they supposed to split the royalties but no papers was drawn up they shook hands on it .I remember my grandfather he would sit all of his grandchildren around him and he would sing and play the guitar with his buddies all day he sounded alot like hank willams sr but sadly he was murdered on the levee in greenville mississippi in 1967 i wish so bad i could prove these facts are true .
@@seancurran6727 So, The Kinks jumped almost a year into the future to steal Link's song? First of all, it was a blues song that predates both bands by decades. As for The Kinks copying Wray, look at the dates for each song - Link records "Hidden Charms" in 66 and The Kinks record their version of "Milk Cow Blues" in 65. How could they steal the song from Link? Given the time frame, Link steals from The Kinks. Prove me wrong.
@@frankfurfaro1885 Man Its good to hear this song again every now and then Im seeing my first comment and I remember being a 14 old kid wanting to play so bad like ol' Kokomo. One of my favorites to this day. Everytime I visit this old songs its like visiting an old friend
these are 2 different songs.. what is the first one? does anyone know? did dylan cover it? i recognize the lyrics "you're gonna need my help someday" from one of dylan's songs.
I'm weighing in here with a copy & paste from a friend of mine below. His statements on another forum fit very closely with what needs to be set on this thread. And I would suggest specifically that people like kahlildopeboi dopeboimagic give this a read. You made some comments that my friend actually touched on in his writing on the other forum. ~~~~~~~~~~~ His quote "No, Elvis didn't invent rock & roll, and to his credit he himself acknowledged this in numerous interviews. One of them even went so far as to point out what other music historians have been saying for decades when talking Rock & Roll history .... he told the interviewer "Rock & roll was around before I came along ...only they were calling it rhythm & blues before they called it rock & roll". This is historically correct, as some of the greats like BB King, Little Richard and James Brown also would tell anyone that had a question about the history. But speaking of those three, one of the reasons those three had so much respect for Elvis is because of the honest Integrity Elvis had. Elvis acknowledged he didn't invent rock & roll, just as he acknowledged black music, artists and their impact on his roots. But BB King said in his autobiography Elvis was the one most responsible for the Rock N Roll Explosion. He and James Brown also credited Elvis with "giving black people a voice". Little Richard talked about it also in one interview, and actually defended Elvis against some of his critics. I would caution people to take a humble deep breath and learn to recognize something that is often overlooked in discussions regarding Elvis and 50s rock and roll... which is that many of the Blues and R&B artists not only spoke highly of Elvis, but they actually defended him over the years. There's a big difference between saying nice things about a person, compared to saying nice things and defending them. Even Bo Diddley went on in one interview to say put it on record he felt Elvis really was a great man and spoke a lot about Elvis's impact on music. He went on to clarify his only issue with the industry at that time was that he felt he himself and other artists were overshadowed by Elvis' huge coronation. But he was trying to make it clear this was more of an indictment on the American music culture, but nothing against Elvis personally, whom he respected Of all the great rockers to arrive on the scene almost at the exact same time in music history... Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Elvis and Bo Diddley all reaching the national charts around Summertime of 1955.... and leading into the rock music explosion of 1956. And of those four, Elvis was the one that received the most attention, and not all of it good. He was the lightning-rod for a lot of bigoted hate from mainstream racist white America pushing back, because their white teenagers were embracing this seemingly "dangerous scary negro music". And beyond that Elvis was really pissing off the white establishment for doing things like showing up at segregated Charity events to support the black community. As BB King and Soul / Funk Legend Rufus Thomas both said, 'Elvis showed tremendous Guts and had real Integrity to be doing what he was doing'. Little Richard, BB King, James Brown, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash all spoke in interviews over the years that it was because of Elvis and the polarizing explosion of his arrival that they were all able to 'follow him through the door'. Too many disingenuous efforts to give ALL the credit to black artists of their influence on Elvis. Let's remember the absolute documented fact that Elvis's first biggest hit was the one that put him on everyone's radar it was Heartbreak Hotel and it was written by a white woman. And even further, Italian operatic vocalists like Mario Lanza and Dean Martin, were also a tremendous influence on Elvis vocal Style. He was obsessed with both of their voices and songs for a couple years while he was in high school. No way anyone can listen to those two vocalists and not hear Elvis. Or all of his country and western influences, of which were many. He also enjoyed going to the parking Memphis to listen to the orchestra occasionally as a teenager. And of course yes many black artists throughout the years also an influence. Elvis's musical roots and influences were as vast as the colors of a rainbow. It's an exercise and B.S. history to to push anything less. It's also kind of a slap in the face to a lot of the black folks in Tupelo Mississippi that knew Elvis as a young child and said he first came to black music through the Gospel that he was exposed to and sang. And no, he didn't learn to sing by copying Otis Blackwell's demos either. LMAO. I see some you fools trying to push that. Again to imply that would be to play stupid about the fact that Elvis grew up as a child around black folks and black singers. So, over a decade before he ever was even exposed to Otis Blackwell, Elvis already had the Blue Note in his voice and came by it legitimately and naturally. Black folks from Tupelo have spoke about this in interviews. People forget Otis Blackwell didn't just give one interview talking about Elvis... and people like to cherry-pick their history. Many don't realize Otis actually gave quite a few interviews over the years and in a number of them he pointed out that it was only because Elvis already was a natural student & blues vocalist that he and Elvis made such a good team. Because, in his own words in a 1981 interview, he would try to sing the demos for Elvis in the same vocal manor that he thought Elvis would use because he and Elvis had similar voices and musical backgrounds in gospel, blues and country & western. Those are Otis' own words that can be found by anyone with Google access. Trying to reduce Elvis to a mere copycat is laughable. Too too many people in the industry back at that time acknowledge just how many of Elvis's hits were masterful reworkings of the original recordings. Some songwriters said when Elvis got done making a hit out of their own song they hardly recognized it, and were very impressed with what Elvis created out of it in the studio. Elvis was too eclectic and versatile in too many different genres to pigeonhole him as one type of singer influenced by one type of artist, and a mere copycat. It's ignorant and slop history. I really recommend some y'all actually do some honest research on this subject instead of *pretending* you're speaking some truth. I think those that were there back then and spoke positive words for Elvis as an artist would know more than the ramblings of amateur music historians" ~~~~~~~~~~ Welp. No lies told. Anyone that can do basic Google research can look it up. It all checks out.
@kahlildopeboi dopeboimagic Elvis borrowed from everywhere. He took what he needed, tiny bits of things he heard and put them all together in his head and created a bunch of very original, unique records. You may be able to pick out various attributes of his records, and dissect them into pieces and know where he got them from, but stand back from the trees and look at the forest, and you will hear very original records. ....Elvis wasn't just a mimic he was an artist. No one was like Elvis and no one to this day is like Elvis.
I don't get the blues. Or... I do for about two songs but then the relentless duplication becomes unbearable to me. This guy, Kokomo Arnold. I've always liked the Presley take on his Milk Cow Blues Boogie song so I thought I'd check the songwriter out. I've listened to six songs and on *every single song,* he plays 4 bars of E, then changes to the A but, seemingly due to the lead lines he's playing around his vocal melody, he's unable to hold an A chording for the 2 bars he sings over that chord. Likewise for when he reaches the B chord (in that usual blues progression). He also sings a virtually identical melody on every song too. I mean... the lyrics are fascinating and, as I said, I love the whole brew - voice, lyric, instrument(s), tune - for one or two songs but how on earth did/do blues musicians not bore everyone to death when giving a whole concert or playing for the duration of a whole album?
Well, he captured your full attention for long enough to minutely analyse what he’s doing. hahaha! And then next time he…or someone else…will do something slightly different to catch you out. That’s part of the beauty of the Blues…the tiny details on a familiar canvas. Enjoy! 🙂
It is like Portuguese Fado, if you heard two, you heard them all...people love whining, and they love predictability. I guess the lyrics about the unpredictability of life itself need something stable to hold onto.

I love how he does those little syncopated licks. It adds an air of sophistication, like something T-Bone Walker would play if he played slide.
Well put sir. Getting into the blues is like going down the rabbit hole, the deeper you get the deeper it goes.
This is some powerful music. Robert learned a great deal from this guy lyric-wise.

Apart from his amazing guitarplaying (and it is) he was also fantastic singer. (That timing is great.

great blues classic hence why Elvis synthesized all this, along with white country and founded rock and roll
