Mark Brine
Writer, performer and producer of Americana music, including country, the blues,
folk and traditional "roots". Press kit, interview, performing schedule, ...
Both of these discoveries, along with exposure to the southern blues sounds of artists like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf, would cement Brines interest in traditional American music
Though widely referred to as the "Father of Country Music" due to his popularization of the hillbilly music form, Rodgers was revolutionary because he mixed elements of the blues, jazz and other popular music genres of the day to make a sound all his own a style that would be copied by many artists and is prevalent today
On a single album, a listener might come across traditional country, folk, gospel, acoustic blues or even a hint of rock music
Music News - The country/folk vet turns his attention to a set of country blues, but he puts his own Americana stamp on it giving you something you won't get from John Hammond, John Renbourn when he's going fishing or any of the same old men working at the mill

Il blues o meglio il country blues si sviluppò dopo il 1863 negli stati lungo il delta del Mississippi
I bluesmen erano agricoltori che dopo il lavoro intrattenevano gli amici accompagnandosi con rudimentali chitarre costruite da loro stessi
Il blues ha generalmente una struttura di 12 battute, che in alcuni casi diventa di 8 o 16 battute o più, la cui scala diatonica è alterata nel 3° e 7° grado - chiamata "blues scale"
Il blues vocale e schietto e diretto; l'atmosfera può essere di disperazione, di cinismo, o di satira
Il urban blues ( blues urbano) scaturì invece dall'emigrazione dei country bluesmen verso le città del Nord
Nella canzone Ananais , un blues di 16 battute, l'argomento è religioso spirituale: " , / tell me what kind of man Jesus is / spoke to the wind, wind stopped still / tell me what kind of man Jesus is" (Ananais, Ananais, / dimmi che uomo è Gesù / parlò col vento, il vento cessò di soffiare / dimmi che uomo è Gesù) Il blues classico, a differenza di quello rurale e urbano era più sofisticato ed evoluto
è un esempio del blues classico

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum : Hall of Fame : Inductee Detail
Provides a short biography and details on Hank's influence on rockabilly, modern
rock and country music.
Some of Williams' more upbeat country and blues-flavored numbers, on the other hand, anticipated the playful abandon of rockabilly
Williams learned gospel music from his Baptist-church organist mother and blues and pop from a black street musician
His initial MGM release, 'Move It On Over, ' was a rocking country blues made popular all over again in the Seventies by George Thorogood
In 1949, his 'Lovesick Blues' topped the C&W chart and then remained in the Top 15 for ten months
'Lovesick Blues' was the first of 11 million-selling singles for Williams over the next four years
His best-known songs - 'Your Cheatin' Heart, ' 'Hey, Good Lookin', ' 'Cold, Cold Heart, ' 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' - endure as American classics, speaking in eloquent vernacular to fans of country, blues, pop and rock and roll alike
1949 Hank Williams scores his first hit with 'Lovesick Blues', signs contract with Grand Ol' Opry
