Blues is about tradition and personal expression. At
its core, the blues has remained the same since its inception. Most
blues feature simple, usually three-chord, progressions and have simple
structures that are open to endless improvisations, both lyrical and
musical. The blues grew out of African spirituals and worksongs. In the
late 1800s, southern African-Americans passed the songs down orally, and
they collided with American folk and country from the Appalachians. New
hybrids appeared by each region, but all of the recorded blues from the
early 1900s are distinguished by simple, rural acoustic guitars and
pianos. After World War II, the blues began to fragment, with some
musicians holding on to acoustic traditions and others taking it to
jazzier territory. However, most bluesmen followed Muddy Waters' lead
and played the blues on electric instruments. From that point on, the
blues continued to develop in new directions -- particularly on electric
instruments -- or it has been preserved as an acoustic tradition

Loading... Electric Blues is an eclectic genre that embraces just about every kind of blues that can be played on an amplified instrument. Its principal component is that of the electric guitar, but its amplified aspect can extend to the bass (usually a solid body Fender type model, but sometimes merely an old "slappin''' acoustic with a pickup attached), harmonica, and keyboard instruments. Stylistically, the form is a wide open field, accessible to just about every permutation possible -- embracing both the old, the new, and sometimes futuristic, and something that falls between the two. Some forms of it copy the older styles of urban blues (primarily the Chicago, Texas, and Louisiana variants) usually in a small combo format, while others head into funk and soul territory. Yet electric blues is elastic enough to include artists who pay homage to those vintage styles of playing while simultaneously recasting them in contemporary fashion. It is lastly a genre that provides a convenient umbrella for original artists of late '40s and early '50s derivation who seemingly resist neat classifications. ~ Cub Koda More Blues Artists Just copy and paste into the search box

What is now referred to as the classic Chicago Blues style was developed in the late '40s and early '50s, taking Delta blues, fully amplifying it and putting it into a small-band context. Adding drums, bass, and piano (sometimes saxophones) to the basic string band and harmonica aggregation, the style created the now standard blues band lineup. The form was (and is) flexible to accommodate singers, guitarists, pianists, and harmonica players as the featured performer in front of the standard instrumentation. Later permutations of the style took place in the late '50s and early '60s, with new blood taking their cue from the lead guitar work of B.B. King and T-Bone Walker, creating the popular west side subgenre (which usually featured a horn section appended to the basic rhythm section). Although the form has also embraced rock beats, it has generally stayed within the guidelines developed in the 1950s and early '60s. ~ Cub Koda
