"Hey Lawdy Mama" (or "Oh Lordy Mama") is a Piedmont blues song recorded by Buddy Moss in 1934.〔A different "Hey! Lawdy Mama – France Blues" was recorded in 1927 by Papa (or Little) Harvey Hull and Long Cleve Reed as "The Down Home Boys".〕 The song became popular among jazz musicians with early recordings by Count Basie and Louis Armstrong. In 1943, a version recorded by Andy Kirk and His Twelve Clouds of Joy, with vocals by June Richmond, was a hit, reaching number four on the Billboard R&B chart.〔 〕 Since then, a variety of artists have recorded their interpretations of "Hey Lawdy Mama". ==Early songs== Buddy Moss' "Oh Lordy Mama" is an uptempo twelve-bar blues with distinct vocal phrasing: :Meet me down at the river, you can bring me my shoes and clothes, :Oh Lordy mama, great God almighty :Said meet me down at the river, bring me my shoes and clothes :Says I ain't got so many, but I got so far to go The song was performed as a solo piece, with Moss providing the vocal and guitar accompaniment. After Moss' single, similar versions followed: "Oh Lawdy Mama" by Curley Weaver (Decca 7664, April 23, 1935)〔Sometimes, the recording date for this single has been incorrectly identified as September 18, 1933.〕 and "Hey Lawdy Mama" by Bumble Bee Slim (Decca 7126, August 7, 1935). These were released before ''Billboard'' magazine or a similar service began tracking such releases, so it is difficult to gauge which of these versions was the most popular, although Bumble Bee Slim's title is the one most commonly used on later versions (and often credited to Slim, also known as Amos Easton). Moss himself recorded a sequel "Oh Lordy Mama No. 2" (ARC 6-04-56, August 21, 1935). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hey Lawdy Mama (blues song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
