April Wine - Tonight Is A Wonderful Time To Fall In Love

As each region of the South developed its own blues style, Blind Lemon Jefferson was the most influential music artist on Texas style blues,  clearly pronounced vocals usually accompanied by the single string picking of a guitar.

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.
