After The Repeal Of Prohibition, He Hooked Up With Kansas Joe McCoy, And Signed With Decca Records, Recording Eighty-Eight Tracks In Four Years. Quitting The Business Not Long After, Arnold Worked Various Factory Jobs, And Dropped Out Of Sight, Until Being Located By Blues Researchers During The Folk/Blues Revival On The 1960's.
