If you are bored with the dull and shallow pop music and unable to listen to the classic symphony in a quiet night ；if you are searching so hard for a genre of music which has high quality and lives up to your taste, you could make Blues as your choice. Because The Blues has always been a genre of music with a feeling and is quiet snappy, not as serious as the classic music.
Blues originated as an expression of the individual and interactive social tradition of a displaced African American population. It began with the African American agrarian working class of the Mississippi Delta and combined African American and European American traditions, particularly hollers (field work songs) and British ballads. It was established by the late 1800s as primarily a vocal and improvisatory genre, often with instrumental accompaniment. Later it became a purely instrumental genre as well, and other blues regions developed—each with its own localized style. Until about 1930 there was a distinction between the earthier style of country blues and the smoother urban blues. Only after blues was well established did it broaden to include the white middle class and function as a form of entertainment.
