Blues is a genre of music created by African descendants in the United States. Like jazz, it has become one of the few new art forms in modern times. It should also be regarded as a kind of original folk music, which was formed around 1900. Because there are no fixed rules for blues music, even musicians and singers who have not been strictly trained can skillfully use it. These people's performances can often form direct and subtle communication with the audience. The freed slaves hummed while working. Most of the songs were handed down from generation to generation by their ancestors. The lyrics also contain ridicule and simple fantasies about the world. These lyrics express their yearning for life, their longing for love and their desire to get rid of bondage.

Rhythm and blues began in the 1940s, and was also influenced by strong rhythm jazz and blues. Later, rock music inherited the mantle of black pop music/dance music. WATERS MUDDY first appeared in Mississippi 194 1 and became popular in Chicago 1943. At the same time, musicians generally use microphones, electric guitars and other means to enhance their performance in noisy small hotels in the city, thus producing urban blues music. At this time, the famous singers are Dixon Willie, Little Wheeler, Walter Horton, Cotton James, Otis Rush, Hollin Wolf, Otis Span, J.B. Hito, Magic Sam, Johnny Poons and others. They performed on the same stage in Chicago with unprecedented pomp, and their styles were deeply influenced by country blues music in the 1920s and 1930s.

In 1960s, a new generation of rock band singers absorbed a lot of nutrition from their post-war works. These bands and singers frequently visited Europe, and a large number of American music records poured into Western Europe, which laid the foundation for the rise of the London Rolling Stones. At the same time, the urban blues had a profound influence on the musical style in the next 20 years. Since the late 1950s, American white musicians have been represented by butterfield Paul, John korner, john hammond and Dave Van Ronk. Has been committed to expressing the true blues style.

Just like jazz, blues music was recorded very late, which should be in 1920, so we don't know much about its early stories. Probably originated from the songs in the plantation-there was no accompaniment at first, and then there was a single music accompaniment such as guitar or banjo, and the instrumental melody alternated with the singer. At the beginning of this century, this music form developed into a format of three lines and twelve bars. The mode of blues has become a tool of jazz improvisation, so before 1920s, blues has been recognized as a branch of jazz. Compared with jazz, the musical form of blues is relatively rudimentary, but in the hands of early performers, it can also be very wonderful. 1923, Bessie Smith (1895~ 1937) recorded "Discouraged Bruce", which quickly sold 750,000 copies and won her a nine-year contract with Columbia Records. The performance of "The Queen of Blues" is very dramatic. Her timbre can span all emotional ranges, and she is also modest when singing, adding her own style to the songs. There is no doubt that she is worthy of respect. At the peak of her career, she earned as much as $2,000 a week and cooperated with all the jazz superstars. Bessie Smith is a very unique place, and Maroni always looks so worldly. Bessie Smith often toured the southern states along the TOBA route-the only entertainment in many black towns, and has recorded about 100 songs. Her elegant posture, simple and dramatic timbre, gloomy and sad timbre and incredible response to the audience's ability have made her the embodiment of blues in many people's minds.

As far as I know, it seems to have nothing to do with country music.
