Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on the use of "blue notes." It emerged in Black communities of the United States from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads.
Simple lyrics and a spare melody on an acoustic guitar preach a deep life lesson.
