"How Long, How Long Blues" is a traditional eight bar blues song, made famous by Leroy Carr on his 1928 Vocalion Records recording with the guitarist Scrapper Blackwell. The song is commonly referred to as "How Long Blues" and is a blues standard that has been recorded by many artists, not only in blues, but also country and western, pop, and jazz. Carr wrote the music for the song which is a sad tale of life gone wrong. He played an impressive blues piano and accompanied himself aided by Blackwell's single string jazz guitar lines in the role of a responsorial voice as well as providing chords. In contrast to the rural bluesmen of the time, Carr's vocals were emotionally detached, high-pitched and smooth, with clear diction.eight bar blues songって??
