“Stormy Monday Blues”

1. Listen to T-Bone Walker’s “Stormy Monday Blues” and create a listening map. You can orient yourself using time (seconds/minutes) rather than measures, if that is easier. Then chart the form and include the musical elements you hear – when solos come in, when the ensemble plays together, what instruments are featured at different times?

2. Compare the form of “Stormy Monday Blues and “Cross Road Blues.” (One verse of each will suffice).
