Pre-War Blues is a genre of blues music that originated in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its slow tempo, simple chord progressions, and often melancholic lyrics. The genre is heavily influenced by African-American spirituals, work songs, and field hollers. Pre-War Blues is often associated with the Delta Blues style, which was popularized by artists such as Robert Johnson, Son House, and Charley Patton. The genre is also closely related to the Piedmont Blues style, which was popularized by Blind Willie McTell and Blind Blake.
