Country Blues

Country Blues is a style of blues music that originated in the rural Southern United States in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its use of acoustic instruments such as the guitar, banjo, and harmonica, as well as its lyrical content which often focuses on themes of poverty, heartache, and hard times. Country Blues is often considered to be the foundation of modern blues music, and its influence can be heard in many other genres such as rock and roll, folk, and jazz.
