History
Blues originated in the Deep South of the United States in the late 19th century, evolving from African American work songs, spirituals, and field hollers. W.C.
Handy's Memphis Blues (1912) and St. Louis Blues (1914) brought blues to mainstream attention. Robert Johnson's legendary 1936-1937 recordings defined Delta blues mythology.
The Chicago electric blues of the 1940s-50s (Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Buddy Guy) transformed blues into a rock and roll precursor. The British blues explosion of the 1960s (Clapton, Jagger, Richards, Page) spread American blues globally. B.
B. King performed until 2014, representing the genre's unbroken living tradition.
Legacy & Influence
Blues is arguably the most influential musical tradition in the history of popular music, serving as the direct or indirect ancestor of rock, R&B, soul, jazz, country, and hip-hop. UNESCO's recognition of the Delta Blues trail as a cultural heritage site acknowledged blues as a defining American artistic contribution to world culture.
