 the Blues is a tradition that developed in the Deep
South at the end of the nineteenth century.
 flourished in Post-Emancipation.
 classic Blues features a soloist and guitarist.
 freedom of mobility was created at the micro-level as
Negroes were permitted to travel with some degree of
freedom for the first time.
 Addition of instruments capable of being
played by one or two persons.- guitar,
harmonica.
 Instruments portable as blues artists were very
transient.
 Call and response between instrument and
person as no group context in Blues.
 All dominant chords
utilised in accordance
with melodic
construction.
 Most important
movement – I7 for
four bars followed by
IV7 in the 5th Bar.
 Blues standardised in
to twelve bar form.
 Blues had secular text with personal accounts:
1. Lyrics reflected new social conditions of
individual hardship.
2. Problems in Inter-personal relationships.
3. Double-entendre sexual messages.
 Standardised American English much more
pronounced as opposed to WS or NS.
 The twelve-bar blues -- the more or less final form of
blues -- is constructed so that each verse is of three
lines, each line about four bars long. The words of the
song usually occupy about one-half of each line,
leaving a space of two bars for either a sung answer or
an instrumental response (Baraka).
 The first line on I7 is repeated on IV7 with the V7
providing a new lyric.
 Blues – post-emancipation genre.
 Secular lyric.
 Solo or two member performance.
 Unique harmonic structure.
 12 Bar Standard form.
 Significantly influential genre.
 It is important to note that the Classic or Delta
Blues did not only remain in its purest form
 Chicago Blues, uses electric guitars and rhythm
section (bass, drums) and came about much
later. It still however, mostly uses the same 12
bar structure.
 Robert Johnson – Delta Blues, W.C Handy
(Transcribed Blues), John-Lee Hooker (Delta
Blues and Detroit Blues), Muddy Waters
(Chicago Blues), B.B King
 Robert Johnson Dsc1 and Dsc2.
 The Essential Muddy Waters – (e.g. of Modern
Blues)
 Baraka, Amiri. Blues People: Negro Music in
White America. New York: W. Morrow, 1963.
