I just wanna meet some blues lovers ;)

Yeah, I am lucky to live in the U.S.A. where we have such a rich musical heritage. So many types of music developed here.

Where are you from?

Right here and big time!!... Love the blues!

It's a long and deep story, but here are a few parts.....


Country blues started mostly with itinerant black musicians singing about their day-to-day lives. The style seems to go back to the slave worker chants back when this country still had slavery. After the Emancipation, the roving musicians usually performed with banjo or, more so, the guitar. Mostly African-Americans from farms with acoustic guitars.

Blues is more associated with black performers.

The best example of country blues, I think, is Robert Johnson.



The origins of country music are even harder to explain - it's a big mixture, really - but the two most important country artists, Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams, Sr., put a lot of country blues into their music.

REAL country music is really just the white man's blues.

The music of Hank Williams, Sr. is really the essence of country music.



I hope this is a helpful start, Fabio.

I went from being a pretentious listener of blues to really developing a real love of the music.

I love a large list of music not only blues, I really love music entirely and I'm not pretentious about anything, but thanks and hi5 for the music.
