"The Blues Aren't Something You Keep
Inside, |
Blues is about tradition and it's about 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 work
songs. 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. |
