Raw, emotional and unenhanced, Acoustic Blues was the Blues' original style. It originated with slave laborers and was perfected in the South. It was the gut-wrenching pathos of those overworked and wronged, set to music with a distinct sound that was instantly recognizable. Played on harmonica, acoustic guitar, upright bass - no matter the instrument - it was heart and soul with a tune and a slow beat. --rgouldtx
