Only the best type of music that ANY modern rock has originated from...
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.

Blues is a uniques style of music that expresses ones feelings about life. A good blues singer usually sings or talks about his good times in life or his hard times in life.

Hi Melissa, The blues is away of singing your down and out feeling of your life. A very good blues man is B.B. KING he is the blues in and out. The Thrill Is Gone a great great song by him. You can really feel the way he felt when he sings this great song. If you get a change to play this great song set and listen to this and you will know who the blues really are.
LOL.
