Jack Bruce - Weird of Hermiston

Gospel music has been influenced by the blues in a number of ways. One of the most notable is the use of call and response vocals. This is a technique in which a lead singer or group of singers sings a line, and then a choir or congregation responds with a repeated phrase or chorus. This technique is common in both blues and gospel music, and it helps to create a sense of community and shared experience among the listeners.

Rap and hip hop music have also been heavily influenced by the blues. One of the most obvious ways in which this influence can be heard is in the use of sampling. Many rap and hip hop songs use samples of old blues recordings, either as the main beat or as a background texture. This helps to create a sense of history and tradition in the music, and it also gives the listener a sense of connection to the past.

Another way in which the blues has influenced rap and hip hop is in the use of storytelling. Many blues songs tell stories of struggle and hardship, and this tradition has been carried over into rap and hip hop. Many of the most successful rappers and hip hop artists tell stories of their own struggles with poverty, violence, and discrimination, and this helps to create a sense of empathy and connection with their listeners.

The blues has had a profound impact on many different genres of music. Its influence can be heard in everything from rock and roll to rap and hip hop, and it continues to inspire new generations of musicians and artists.

Blues music has a rich history that dates back to the late 1800s. It originated from the African American workers in the South and has since evolved into a popular music genre

Veronica Swift - A Little Taste

There has always been an uncomfortable tension between rhythm and blues and rock and roll, a cyclical influence that vacillates between inspiration, appropriation and separation. Popular music has broken off into categories of rock, pop, country, and R&B, each with their own origin stories. But R&B and rock, usually codified as vastly different, Black and white styles, have long been intertwined in ways our historical memory may have us forget.  Despite the innovation that comes from separation, rock and R&B always find their way back to each other. In recent years, rock veterans have turned to the genre’s classics for inspiration. Queens of the Stone Age veered from their typical hard rock with 2017’s Villains, a dance y album inspired by frontman Josh Homme’s love of 1920s jazz and swing, other Black genres that laid the groundwork for the popular music of today. The whitewashing of rock’s history has oversimplified music’s malleability and silenced the voices of Amer...
