Still got the blues...

Blues is a type of music that originated in the United States. Blak slaves in the cotton fields used to sing about their unhappy lives, using melodies and rhythms they had brought from their homeland. This singing developed into Blues, which still has an air of sadness and unhappiness. Here are a couple of classic blues tracks. I hope you enjoy them.
