Blues.
Originating in the late 1800s from African American spirituals, work songs and field hollers, the blues’ scales, rhythms (12-bar form, blue notes), and lyrical themes directly influenced later genres — especially country, early rock ’n’ roll, and rock. Many rock and country artists drew on blues techniques (slide guitar, call-and-response, chord patterns) as they developed.
