Country Blues

Country Blues is a style of American folk music originating from the rural South in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It features expressive vocals and guitar or harmonica playing, often reflecting themes of hardship, love, and daily life. The music is characterized by its simple, heartfelt melodies and a rhythm that emphasizes personal storytelling. Rooted in African American traditions, Country Blues influenced many later genres, including rock and roll. Its authentic, raw sound captures the struggles and resilience of rural communities, serving as a foundational form of American music.
