	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.
		One kind of early 1940s urban blues was the jump blues, a style heavily influenced by big band music and characterized by the use of the guitar in the rhythm section, a jazzy, up-tempo sound, declamatory vocals and the use of the saxophone or other brass instruments.
		The Chicago blues is influenced to a large extent by the Mississippi blues style, because most artists of this period were migrants from the Mississippi region: Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, and Jimmy Reed were all born in Mississippi and moved to Chicago during the Great Migration.

		Blues music, which evolved from African American spirituals, work songs, shouts and chants, has been a massive influence on modern Western music styles.
		Robert Johnson, probably the most influential delta blues singer and guitarist in history, was born in Hazelhurst, Mississippi in 1911.
		Some of the finest blues performances of the second half of the twentieth century were produced in Chicago, where thousands of African-American migrants moved from the poor rural farm-based economy of the southern states.

	American folk music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American folk music, also known as Americana, is a broad category of music including country music, gospel, old time music, jug bands, Appalachian folk, blues, Tejano and Cajun and Native American music.
		The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl were extremely important in disseminating these musical styles to the rest of the country, as Delta blues masters, itinerant honky tonk singers and Latino and Cajun musicians spread to cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
		Folk musicians like the Kingston Trio, pop-Tejano and Cuban-American fusions like boogaloo, chachacha and mambo, blues-derived rock and roll and rockabilly, pop-gospel, doo wop and RandB (later secularized further as soul music) and the Nashville sound in country music all modernized and expanded the musical palette of the country.

	Cosmik Debris Magazine Presents: Real Folk Blues, May 2002
		The Real Folk Blues releases, followed by the More Real Folk Blues sets, are the recordings that inspired a generation of young bluesmen and blueswomen in the 1960's and 1970's, from the Rolling Stones and Eric Burdon to Bonnie Raitt and Johnny Winter.
		Chess Records released the Real Folk Blues series in 1966, and their follow-up albums one year later, to reach the audiences that flocked to Muddy Waters' Live at Newport LP released in 1960.
		When the Real Folk Blues series premiered in the mid 1960's, the blues in general were eclipsed by the emergence of rock and roll as an international cultural force, as well as by the popularity of protest songs against the war in Viet Nam.

		A love of folk music, both traditional and ‘new wave’, is apparent throughout and all these recordings have a wonderfully ‘live’ sound that is warm yet full of detail.
		Synthesising influences from Chicago blues and guitarists such as Freddie King and B.B. King, Clapton forged a distinctive style and soon became one of the most talked-about guitarists in the British music scene.
		He was influenced by of blues artists such as B. King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Walker and Muddy Waters, as well by rhythm and blues and soul music guitarists such as Curtis Mayfield, and by modern jazz (Rahsaan Roland Kirk was one of his favourite musicians).

	Muddy Waters: Real Folk Blues & More Real Folk Blues
		His reworking of Robert Johnson's "Walkin' the Blues" is just Waters, his guitar, and the loping bass work of Ernest "Big" Crawford, a combination that we hear quite a bit of on More Real Folk Blues, and one that provides the maximum heat-soaked, humidity-drenched Delta blues experience.
		Yet, the blues is still the blues, as Dixon point out in his original liner notes for the album: "Muddy Waters, in 'Same Thing' emphasizes the fact that the world seems to fight about the same things.
		Also interesting is the fact that despite the "folk blues" sound of these recordings, all of the tracks were actually written by Waters himself.

	wordsandmusic: Folk... Blues... Jazz... and back...
		When you put blues and folk music into the frame of the fifties and sixties I would argue that it explains a lot of the subsequent development of the avant-garde.
		But beyond that there are also the global intrinsic freedoms of folk music to consider which also involve instrumental embellishment and improvisation and stretching songs to the demands of the moment beyond the purview of written scores.
		The freedoms of the blues singers – Lightning Hopkins and John Lee Hooker suggest themselves readily as does, say, Bukka White who declared that his songs were plucked 'out of the air' – to bend the twelve bar form to their own ends as and when desired.

	"Folk, Gospel & Blues" CD Review
		FOLK BLUES & GOSPEL spans 1920-94, beginning with the gospel of the Fisk Jubilee Singers and the first commercial recording of a blues singer, Mamie Smith doing "Crazy Blues".
		According to the excellent booklet notes by blues historian Mary Katherine Aldin, the tune was originally intended for white vaudevillian singer Sophie Tucker, when she got sick, Smith got the call.
		Its back to blues with "Death Letter" from Son House's 1965 rediscovery sessions, and the Staple Singers do an okay remake of their Vee-Jay stunner "Will The Circle Be Unbroken".

	Book review: "Folk & Blues: The Encyclopedia"
		Folk music is a bit tougher, though, at least of late.
		So for the listener just exploring folk, learning which albums to buy, or getting a handle on who's played with whom can be a bit tougher than for fans of other styles.
		The same is not true of folk, and so their contribution here is the more important.

		The opening strains of "Leaving Blues" say what Mr.Graham is about quite eloquently: the harmonics orientally bent leading into the jazzlike walking line in octaves as the train pulls out of the station.
		"Folk Blues and Beyond" was a pebble in the pond who's waves are still rolling thru the fingers of many players today.
		Folk, Blues and Beyond illustrates why Davy Graham was arguably the most soulful and innovative singer-guitarist to emerge from the 1960's British folk scene.

		Backed by a Chicago blues band of unrestrained force, the result is some of the strongest and long lasting recordings in the history of electric blues.
		Blue ribbon material and performances point up the mighty Wolf's strong challenge to the Chicago blues hegemony of Muddy Waters in the 1950s and 1960s.
		1966's The Real Folk Blues, recorded in the early to mid 1960s features the larger than life growling voice and riffs, as well as the monster swagger of those amazing earlier recordings and the fact that Wolf is writing all of his own material instead of recording Willie Dixon`s songs subtracts little quality.
