		The expansion of rural blues (therefore limited to certain areas), to what would be the diffusion on a worldwide basis, would obviously bring some changes in the contents of the text, such as more modern and updated texts that pertained to the actual matters of the time in which a song was written.
		Historically the blues was born in the second half of the 1800's, when music was added to the part that for a long time was only vocal.
		Initially the typical structure of the blues was concentrated into a verse, followed by a rest (or an instrumental) that was repeated twice until the final resolution.

		Patrick Neate’s “Twelve Bar Blues” is an ambitious, self-conscious exercise in polyphony.
		“Twelve Bar Blues” is a page-turner not because Neate inspires any burning desire to learn what happens next, but because his world and his characters are worth knowing.
		But the trust Neate has carefully earned is strained by any instant of dialogical awkwardness; the last thing “Twelve Bar Blues” needs is for the reader to doubt the legitimacy of a well-written past because of missteps in the present.
