"Mean Old World" "showcased T-Bones's new, and already developed, style, in which he answered his smoky, soulful vocal phrases with deft, stinging, jazz-inflected lead lines on his electric guitar". The song was performed in the West Coast blues style, with a small combo of pianist Freddie Slack, bassist Jud DeNaut, and drummer Dave Coleman accompanying Walker on vocal and guitar. On July 20, 1942, he recorded "Mean Old World" for Capitol Records. After leaving Hite's band, Walker continued to develop and refine his style on the Los Angeles club circuit. T-Bone Walker began performing "Mean Old World" when he was with Les Hite and His Orchestra from 1939 to 1940. Over the years it has been interpreted and recorded by numerous blues, jazz and rock and roll artists. It has been described (along with the single's B-side) as "the first important blues recordings on the electric guitar". " Mean Old World" is a blues song recorded by American blues electric guitar musician T-Bone Walker in 1942. 1945 single by T-Bone Walker "Mean Old World"
