Got The Blues
September 16th, 2008 . by Roxor
Blues music is mostly known for its deep inclination towards the African-American community of the US. This music genre is well characterised by the instrumental and vocal music, the profound base of which is found to be on the blue notes. The concept of this music genre arises from that of chants, spirituality, ballads and work songs. However, the foundation of many other popular music forms, like heavy metal, jazz, rhythm and blues and hip-hop is based on Blues music.
The other major characteristic of Blues music is that it reflects the singer’s profound mood, especially that of depression and sadness. The first Blues music released to express the depressed mood was Hart Wand’s ‘Dallas Blues’. There is some kind of common distinctiveness in this music genre. However, the pre-blues music could be simply a solong song with some kind of emotional touch. The lyrics of the blues music are completely based on reputation. The mournful tunes successfully manage to capture the essence of the music lovers.
