Blues is the name given to both a musical form and a music genre created primarily within the African-American communities in the Deep South of the United States at the end of the 19th century from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues form ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll is characterized by specific chord progressions—the twelve-bar blues chord progressions being the most common—and the blue notes, notes that for expressive purposes are sung or played flattened or gradually bent (minor 3rd to major 3rd) in relation to the pitch of the major scale. The blues genre is based on the blues form but possesses other characteristics such as specific lyrics, bass lines and instruments. Blues can be subdivided into several subgenres ranging from country to urban blues that were more or less popular during different periods of the 20th century. Best known are the Delta, Piedmont, Jump and Chicago blues styles. World War II marked the transition from acoustic to electric blues and the progressive opening of blues music to a wider audience. In the 1960s and 1970s, a hybrid form called blues rock evolved. The term "the blues" refers to the "blue devils", meaning melancholy and sadness; an early use of the term in this sense is found in George Colman's one-act farce Blue Devils (1798). Though the use of the phrase in African American music may be older, it has been attested to since 1912, when Hart Wand's "Dallas Blues" became the first copyrighted blues composition. In lyrics the phrase is often used to describe a depressed mood. From Wikipedia under the

Poetic Form: Blues Poem One of the most popular forms of American poetry, the blues poem stems from the African American oral tradition and the musical tradition of the blues. A blues poem typically takes on themes such as struggle, despair, and sex. It often (but not necessarily) follows a form, in which a statement is made in the first line, a variation is given in the second line, and an ironic alternative is declared in the third line. African-American writer Ralph Ellison said that although the blues are often about struggle and depression, they are also full of determination to overcome difficulty "through sheer toughness of spirit." This resilience in the face of hardship is one of the hallmarks of the blues poem.

I'm more of a blues person and i don't know much about country. Asked by blank for now - Sun Oct 4 22:02:34 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. First, I will say that I am a big fan of both country and blues (as well as rock and jazz) and I am also a musician. Now, let's compare them a bit... For one, country did stem from the blues, but was also heavily influenced by Celtic music and jazz. For the most part, blues used minor pentatonics and major pentatonics scales where as country usually sticks to major scales but also uses minor and major pentatonics and more. Another thing is that, in country, you're more likely to hear a more complex chord progression and melody while, in blues, it's more about putting soul into the singing and musicianship. Do note that blues also lead to the creation of rock and jazz, but that jazz and country also helped in the development of rock. … [cont.] Answered by American Guitarist - Mon Oct 5 02:27:55 2009 What is the age limit for house of blues in boston for katy perry concert?
