Ocie Stockard playing OPA Blues

By Kenneth Rainey. Filed under: 78rpm Archive, Audio, TweedBlog.

Here’s a wartime ditty from the archives, recorded by western swing legend Ocie Stockard for Cincinnati-based King records. The song laments the ineffectiveness of the wartime Office of Price Administration, or OPA. The tune bears a striking resemblance to ‘Milk Cow Blues’. This is King 600B.

OPA Blues (MP3)
