"You Shook Me" is a 1962 blues song recorded by Chicago blues artist Muddy Waters. It features a vocal by Muddy Waters in unison with a slide-guitar melody by Earl Hooker. "You Shook Me" became one of Muddy Waters' most successful early-1960s singles and has been interpreted by several blues and rock artists. ==Background== "You Shook Me" has a history that is unique among Muddy Waters' songs — it is the first of his songs to feature his vocals overdubbed onto an existing commercially-released song. "Blue Guitar", a slide-guitar blues instrumental, was recorded during a May 3, 1961 recording session by Earl Hooker for Chief Records. To start the session, Hooker and his backup band played a "warm-up" song, loosely fashioned on earlier Hooker songs. One take was recorded, apparently unknown to Hooker. Backing Earl Hooker (slide guitar) were A.C. Reed and Ernest Cotton (tenor saxophones), Johnny "Big Moose" Walker (organ, piano), Ernest Johnson (electric bass), and Bobby Little (drums).〔Inaba 2011, song index.〕 Some sessionographies also list Willie Dixon (double bass), Lafayette Leake or Otis Spann (piano), and Casey Jones (drums).〔 〕〔 〕〔 Chief owner/producer Mel London later released it in 1962 on subsidiary Age Records with the title "Blue Guitar", listing Earl Hooker as the artist and writer. The single became popular in Chicago and "sold unusually well for an instrumental blues side".〔Danchin 2001, p. 139.〕 Chicago-area blues musicians were soon performing the song during their engagements. 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「You Shook Me」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
