Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35 : ウィキペディア英語版
Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35


}}
"Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is a song by Bob Dylan which is the opening track of his 1966 album, ''Blonde on Blonde''. It was initially released as a single in April 1966, reaching No. 7 in the UK and No. 2 in the US chart. "Rainy Day Women" was recorded in the Nashville studio of Columbia Records, and features a raucous brass band backing track. The recurrent chorus "Everybody must get stoned" made the song controversial, and was labelled by some commentators as "a drug song".
==Song==
The song is notable for its brass band arrangement and the controversial chorus "Everybody must get stoned". Al Kooper, who played keyboards on ''Blonde on Blonde'', has recalled when Dylan initially demoed the song to the backing musicians in Columbia's Nashville studio, producer Bob Johnston suggested that "it would sound great Salvation Army style. When Dylan queried how they would find horn players in the middle of the night, Charlie McCoy, who played trumpet, made a phone call and summoned a trombone player.〔
The song is essentially a simple blues chord progression in the key of F. The parts played by the trombone, tuba, piano, bass, drums, and tambourine remain practically the same in all of the verses. Much laughter and shouting in the background accompanies the song, mixed down to a low volume level, and Dylan laughs several times during his vocal delivery.
The track was recorded in Columbia Music Row Studios in Nashville in the early hours of March 10, 1966. In the account of Dylan biographer Howard Sounes, the chaotic musical atmosphere of the track was attained by the musicians playing in unorthodox ways, and on unconventional instruments. McCoy switched from bass to trumpet. Drummer Kenny Buttrey set up his bass drum on two hard-back chairs and played them using a timpani mallet. Moss played bass, while Strzelecki played Al Kooper's organ. Kooper played a tambourine.〔 Producer Bob Johnston recalled "all of us walking around, yelling, playing and singing."〔
Sean Wilentz, who listened to the original studio tapes to research his book on Dylan, writes that at the end of the recording of "Rainy Day Women", producer Bob Johnston asked Dylan for the song's title. Dylan replied, "A Long-Haired Mule and a Porcupine Here." Johnston commented, "It's the only one time that I ever heard Dylan really laugh... going around the studio, marching in that thing."〔
Sounes quotes musician Wayne Moss recalling that in order to record "Rainy Day Women", Dylan insisted the backing musicians must be intoxicated. A studio employee was sent to an Irish bar to obtain "Leprechaun cocktails". In Sounes's account, Moss, Hargus "Pig" Robbins and Henry Strzelecki claim they also smoked a "huge amount" of marijuana and "got pretty wiped out". Sounes states that some musicians, including McCoy, remained unintoxicated. This version of events has been challenged by Wilentz's study of the making of ''Blonde on Blonde''. According to Wilentz, both McCoy and Kooper insist all the musicians were sober, and that Dylan's manager Albert Grossman would not have permitted pot or drink in the studio. In support of this view, Wilentz points out that three further tracks were recorded that night in the Nashville studio, all of which appeared on the final album.〔
In Robert Shelton's biography of Dylan, Shelton says he was told by Phil Spector that the inspiration for the song came when Spector and Dylan heard the Ray Charles song, "Let's Go Get Stoned" on a jukebox in Los Angeles. Spector said "they were surprised to hear a song that free, that explicit", referring to its chorus of "getting stoned" as an invitation to indulge in alcohol or narcotics. (This anecdote may be questioned because the Ray Charles song was released in April 1966, after "Rainy Day Women" was recorded.)
After recording ''Blonde on Blonde'', Dylan embarked on his 1966 "world tour". At a press conference in Stockholm on April 28, 1966, Dylan was asked about the meaning of his new hit single, "Rainy Day Women". Dylan replied the song was about "cripples and orientals and the world in which they live... It's a sort of Mexican thing, very protest... and one of the pro-testiest of all things I've protested against in my protest years."
Shelton states that, as the song rose up the charts, it became controversial as "a drug song". Shelton points out that ''Time'' magazine, on July 1, 1966, wrote: "In the shifting multi-level jargon of teenagers, 'to get stoned' does not mean to get drunk but to get high on drugs... a 'rainy-day woman', as any junkie () knows, is a marijuana cigarette."〔 Dylan responded to the controversy by announcing, during his May 27, 1966, performance at the Royal Albert Hall, London, "I never have and never will write a drug song."〔"Dylan View On The Big Boo", ''Melody Maker'', June 4, 1966〕
