About Chicago Blues
Chicago Blues is a style of blues that started developing around the mid 1900s. It draws heavily on earlier styles of blues, most notably Delta blues, but it uses those elements in a way that’s more consistent with urban blues.
Its sound is set apart from some other styles by the heavy use of electric instruments and electronic effects on those instruments. A lot of Chicago blues is built around electric guitar and harmonica, with one or both of them being amplified so much they’re distorted.
Chicago blues is one of the most influential subgenres of blues. Its impact can be felt on early rock ‘n’ roll, as well as hard rock and blues music coming out of the UK in the 60s and 70s.
