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. Referred to as the Father of Texas Blues, he was the most famous blues singer of his time. In his early years, he lived in many cities throughout Texas, but later settled down in Dallas’ Deep Ellum area where he played with locally known artists.

But, those who know, know that this region is the Hill Country, and it is the home of a style of blues unlike others and continuing to shape popular music culture. Mississippi Hill Country Blues, like all forms of the blues, is deeply rooted in the cultural memories and experiences of those who first performed it. It builds upon the African and diasporic emphasis upon rhythm as not just beats and timing, but giving syncopation and polyrhythm both rhythmic elements, an elevated role in music much like that of the melody. The driving rhythm and aggressive groove, established primarily by sitting on one chord for long phrases, set Hill Country Blues apart from other forms like Delta Blues.
