Michael Busher Ireland

The origins of the blues are something which interests many music fans, including Michael Busher Ireland. This genre dates back to the late nineteenth century, in the southern states of America, and was born from a combination of work songs, folk ballads, European hymns, traditional songs and African-American spirituals. Whilst the development of the blues began in the 1890s, it wasn't until the year 1910 that sheet music of a recorded song was published, and word began to spread about this new type of music.
At this point, the genre had a distinctive form, which is still used and recognised by blues fans like Michael Busher Ireland today - a lyrical structure of AAB, twelve bars and a scale which includes flat thirds and sevenths. During the 1920s, the recording of performances by the country folk blues musicians of Texas and the Mississippi Delta, and a number of the great female blues singers, boosted the popularity of this genre Between 1920s and the 1940s, many African Americans began to leave the south, due to the lack of employment, and took the blues with them, leading to the development of new styles of blues in places like Chicago.
This style was more urban that the blues of the south, influenced by 'rock n roll', and eventually became known as rhythm and blues, or r n' b, as we call it today. The folk revival which occurred during the fifties and sixties also had an impact on this genre, as many people who had previously been unfamiliar with it started to explore the blues. It was this revival which would result in the hugely popular American and British blues rock which came about in the seventies, a style which many blues fanatics like Michael Busher Ireland, still listen to today.
There are now many different styles, including the Louisiana blues, the Memphis blues and St Louise blues. In terms of specific performers, there were - and still are - a huge number of talented blues musicians. Blues fans such as Michael Busher Ireland often listen to performances by people like Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton and Son House, all of whom were considered to be pioneers of the blues back in the 1920. These musicians typically performed solo, playing just one instrument (a guitar), although they would occasionally team up with each other. Blues performers like Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker were amongst the first musicians to start using things like electric guita
