The first use of the term on record was in 1925 in the name of Jimmy O ' Bryant and his Chicago Skifflers.
Most often it was used to describe country blues music records, which included the compilation " Hometown Skiffle " ( 1929 ), and " Skiffle Blues " ( 1946 ) by Dan Burley & His Skiffle Boys.
It was used by Ma Rainey ( 1886 – 1939 ) to describe her repertoire to rural audiences.
The term skiffle disappeared from American music in the 1940s.
