Country Blues

Country Blues is a type of blues music that emerged in the Southern United States in the early 20th century. It is characterized by the use of acoustic guitar, harmonica, and sometimes a stringed instrument such as a banjo, and is often sung with a rural, Southern drawl. Country Blues is often associated with folk, gospel, and even early forms of jazz, and has been a major influence on many different genres of music. The most influential Country Blues musicians include Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Bukka White, and Charley Patton.
