Pre-War Blues Music Style Overview | AllMusic (original) (raw)
Blues • Early Acoustic Blues
Prewar Blues is country-blues recorded before World War II. Prewar blues is entirely acoustic, but there are variations to the style -- it could be acoustic guitars, piano blues, solo singers, string bands, or jug bands. The primary unifying factors are that the music is all acoustic, is usually a folk song, and was recorded prior to World War II.
