‘A little punk, a little jazz, a little shoegaze’: meet the new blues
Since its inception in the American south in the early years of the 20th century, the blues has been repeatedly rethought, redreamed, restructured and re-presented; from the early blues WC Handy heard played in a Tutwiler railway station, to the female blues singers such as Mamie Smith and Ma Rainey in the 1920s, the Delta blues of Robert Johnson, and the electric blues of T-Bone Walker, and on to the British blues of the 50s and 60s that brought Alexis Korner, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton, as well as more recent incarnations, led by the White Stripes and the Black Keys. It has spun out from spirituals and slave plantations, crossed gender, race, class, states, rivers and oceans, and been played in juke joints, cellar bars, concert halls and stadiums.
