	Electric blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The electric blues is a type of blues music distinguished by the amplification of the guitar, the bass guitar, and/or the harmonica.
		Electric blues is performed in several regional subgenres, such as Chicago blues, Texas blues and Memphis blues.
		The initial wave of U.S. electric blues musicians inspired the British blues scene of the 1960s, which included artists such as John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Eric Clapton, The Yardbirds and the first incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, as well as more mainstream rock groups such as Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones.

		His grinding, tough blues "No Shoes" proved a surprisingly sizable hit in 1960, while the storming "Boom Boom," his top seller for the firm in 1962 (it even cracked the pop airwaves), was an infectious R&B dance number benefiting from the reported presence of some of Motown's house musicians.
		Blues fans who doubt this can clearly hear the proof on several of Jimmy's biggest hits, most notably "Big Boss Man" and "Bright Lights, Big City," where she steps into the fore and starts singing along with him in order to keep him on the beat.
		Modern electric blues guitar can be traced directly back to this Texas-born pioneer, who began amplifying his sumptuous lead lines for public consumption circa 1940 and thus initiated a revolution so total that its tremors are still being felt today.

	Blues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The use of blue notes and the prominence of call-and-response patterns in the music and lyrics are indicative of the blues' West African pedigree.
		Jefferson was one of the few country blues performers to record widely, and may have been the first to record the slide guitar style, in which a guitar is fretted with a knife blade or the sawed-off neck of a bottle.
		Blues is sometimes danced as a type of swing dance, with no fixed patterns and a focus on connection, sensuality, body contact, and improvisation.

	Blues Foundation :: Background of Blues Music
		Most blues feature simple, usually three-chord, progressions and have simple structures that are open to endless improvisations, both lyrical and musical.
		New hybrids appeared by each region, but all of the recorded blues from the early 1900s are distinguished by simple, rural acoustic guitars and pianos.
		From that point on, the blues continued to develop in new directions -- particularly on electric instruments -- or it has been preserved as an acoustic tradition.

	Modern Electric Blues
		Modern Electric Blues began in the late '70s and early '80s, after blues-rock ran its course and most major labels had given up on the blues.

		As the '80s progressed, Modern Electric Blues found its audience, and it continued to thrive through the late '90s.

		Modern Electric Blues is an eclectic mixture, a sub genre embracing both the old, the new and something that falls between the two.
		With their fusion of blues, rock & roll, and R&B, the Fabulous Thunderbirds helped popularize roadhouse Texas blues with a mass audience in the '80s and, in the process, they helped kick-start a blues revival during the mid-'80s.
		During their heyday in the early '80s, they were the most popular attraction on the blues bar circuit, which eventually led to a breakthrough to the pop audience in 1986 with their fifth album, Tuff Enuff.

	Chicago electric blues
		Without a doubt, electric Chicago blues constitutes, along with RandB-derived rock and roll by the likes of Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley (who both also recorded on Chess and sometimes used the same backup musicians as the Chicago blues greats), the backbone of the Stones' musical identity.
		Born in Louisiana, legendary guitarist and blues singer Buddy Guy moved to Chicago in the late 1950s to become one of the leading players in the second generation of Chicago blues players.
		He was the pre-eminent slide blues guitar player of his era, developing a loud, emotional, electric style that was totally revolutionary.

		While I'm not absolutely certain of this, I believe Gary was the first hard rock guitarist to cross over to blues by dedicating a full CD to the genre.

		If you are a fan of guitar-driven blues rock, there's no question this CD needs to be in your collection.

	Pre-electric Chicago blues
		One of the most influential figures in blues history, his influence on the Stones' music is nevertheless for the most part indirect.
		This generation of blues musicians, and Broonzy in particular, though they were appreciated by the Stones, were not as crucial an influence as they were on people like Alexis Korner and those that initiated the London blues scene.
		The generation gap between the Stones and Korner, therefore, resembles that between Muddy Waters and Broonzy, for example, and is reflected in their musical preferences.

	Electric Blues - Free Music Downloads - MP3 Downloads - Download.com Music
		With an increasing number of African Americans moving to urban areas in the 1940s and '50s, and with amplified electric guitars playing a larger role in the music's development, Chicago saw the blues evolve from its Southern roots into a more expanded, modern sound.
		Musicians were putting the blues into a band context by incorporating drums, piano, electric bass, and even horns, a lineup that soon became the standard blueprint for all modern blues ensembles.
		Chicago blues represents a style of electric and acoustic blues that still has close ties to the music's early roots but is perhaps built more for playing in bars and clubs than on front porchs.

		As a result, their songs are often an ecelectic fusion of vocally oriented tunes, freeform jams, and live improvisation based in the roots of blues, funk, and rock.
		The culmination of all these factors is the creation of a sound which E.B.E pride as being distinctly their own.

	Chicago Blues Electric Guitar: 1945 - 1951 CD Review
		While this collection might not begin with the very first example of amplified blues guitar in the Windy City, it's a marvelous compilation spanning seven years and a wide swath of artists with distinct and differing styles.
		Lockwood come in the form of Pearly B and Dust My Broom, both cut at a March 1951 session with torrid support from Sunnyland Slim and Alfred Wallace and it's obvious just how accomplished Lockwood was; his creative and highly distorted guitar work shows elements of jazz while the tight unit thumps along behind him.
		Robert Nighthawk's Black Angel Blues stems from an Aristocrat recording in 1949 with his delicate and perfectly-placed slide efforts well to the fore, and while Arthur Crudup never startled anyone with his guitar work, his rhythm playing is solid during both 1949's I Don't Know It and 1951's Too Much Competition.
