\"Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad)\" (commonly referred to as \"Stormy Monday\") is a song written and recorded by American blues electric guitar pioneer T-Bone Walker. It is a slow twelve-bar blues performed in the West Coast blues-style that features Walker's smooth, plaintive vocal and distinctive guitar work. As well as becoming a record chart hit in 1948, it inspired B.B. King and others to take up the electric guitar. \"Stormy Monday\" became Walker's best-known and most-recorded song.
