La storia dietro
Muddy Waters registrò “Mannish Boy” a Chicago il 24 maggio 1955. La canzone divenne un classico del blues, con una struttura ripetitiva e una voce che portava il peso della storia. La testo, con frasi come “Sono un uomo, scrivo M, un bambino, N”, non era solo un gioco di parole, ma una forma di dire che i neri non si chiamavano “uomini” nel sud, ma “bambini”. Era una maniera di rivendicare la propria identità. La registrazione includeva Jimmy Rogers alla chitarra, Fred Below alla batteria e un coro femminile. Non c'era Little Walter, che era in tour. La canzone uscì come singolo, accompagnata da “Young Fashioned Ways” nel lato B. Fu un successo nelle classifiche, arrivò al #5 su Billboard e al #51 nel Regno Unito. ↓ Vai agli accordi
