La historia detrás

Muddy Waters grabó “Mannish Boy” en Chicago el 24 de mayo de 1955. La canción se convirtió en un clásico del blues, con una estructura repetitiva y una voz que lleva el peso de la historia. La letra, con frases como “Soy un hombre, deletreo M, un niño, N”, no era solo un juego de palabras, sino una forma de decir que los negros no se llamaban “hombres” en el sur, sino “niños”. Era una manera de reclamar su identidad. La grabación incluyó a Jimmy Rogers en guitarra, Fred Below en batería y un coro femenino. No estuvo Little Walter, que estaba de gira. La canción salió como single, acompañada de “Young Fashioned Ways” en el lado B. Fue un éxito en las listas, llegó a #5 en Billboard y llegó a #51 en el Reino Unido. ↓ Saltar a los acordes

Curiosidad
Muddy Waters grabó «Mannish Boy» en 1955, y la cosa no fue casual. La canción se armó como una especie de desafío, una respuesta a «I'm a Man», de Bo Diddley. Y esa canción de Diddley, a su vez, tenía raíces en «Hoochie Coochie Man», de Waters y Willie Dixon. Lo que queda es un ritmo que se mueve en un acorde fijo, como si el tiempo se detuviera y se quedara ahí, repetido y sólido.
