Long Distance Call (Muddy Waters song) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Long Distance Call (Muddy Waters song)
"Long Distance Call" is a song by American blues musician Muddy Waters. It was first released as a single in 1951 by Chess Records (#1452), with "Too Young To Know" on the B-side. The single reached #8 on the US R&B chart. It was later released on the greatest hits album ''The Best of Muddy Waters'' (1958), and is hailed as a classic modern blues song; Waters's singing is cited as an excellent example of the so-called blue notes. ==Background and content== "Long Distance Call" originates in the song "Long Distance Moan", recorded in September 1929 by Blind Lemon Jefferson (Paramount #12852).〔 In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Muddy Waters was recording the type of music that helped the blues survive as a commercially viable type of music. "Long Distance Call" was recorded on 23 January 1951, with Little Walter on harmonica and Ernest "Big" Crawford on bass, in a session that also produced "Too Young To Know", "Honey Bee", and "Howlin' Wolf".〔 The lyrics feature a male first-person speaker addressing his female lover, asking her to say something kind to him. When a call comes, long-distance, it is only to tell him that "another mule () kickin' in your stall".〔This last phrase is cited as an example of third-person boasting. See 〕 John Collis calls the song a "slow, meditative and soulful strut" that has Waters (a Mississippi native then working in Chicago) "exploit migration as a commercial theme".
