fixbutte 25th Nov 2014		The tightly arranged "Ida Red", featuring Eldon Shamblin's electric guitar, became a hit for Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys, and 17 years later it became the model for Chuck Berry's first hit, originally titled "Ida May", but rechristened "Maybellene" by the request of Leonard Chess to avoid copyright hassles. Quote Berry: "Maybellene" has the same rhythm as "Ida Red", like dah-di-dah, you know, "Maybellene", "Ida Red", you know. So rhythm I had, but I had somebody else's title, you know. So that's how "Maybellene" came up.
