Blues

Blues is a genre and musical form that originated in African-American communities in the "Deep South" of the United States around the end of the 19th century. The genre developed from roots in traditional African music, combined with European American folk music. Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues form, ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll, is characterized by the call-and-response pattern, the blues scale and specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common. The blue notes (or "worried notes") which are often thirds or fifths which are flatter in pitch than in other music styles, are also an important part of the sound. Blues shuffles or walking bass reinforce the trance-like rhythm and form a repetitive effect called a groove.

Blues as a genre possesses other characteristics such as lyrics, bass lines, and instruments. The lyrics of early traditional blues verses consisted of a single line repeated four times. It was only in the first decades of the 20th century that the most common current structure became standard: the so-called AAB pattern, consisting of a line sung over the four first bars, its repetition over the next four, and then a longer concluding line over the last bars. Early blues frequently took the form of a loose narrative, often relating troubles experienced within African American society.

    Blues (Jimi Hendrix album)

    Blues is a posthumous compilation album by musician Jimi Hendrix, released April 26, 1994, on MCA Records. The album contains eleven blues songs recorded by Hendrix between 1966 and 1970. Out of these eleven, six were previously unreleased. The tracks include seven of Hendrix's compositions along with covers of famous blues songs such as "Born Under a Bad Sign" and "Mannish Boy". Most of the album's material consists of leftover studio tapes that Hendrix might have never intended to release.

    Compiled by MCA and released in 1994, Blues was met with favorable criticism and multiple chart success, selling over 500,000 copies in its first two years of release. On February 6, 2001, Blues was certified platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album was re-released on Experience Hendrix Records in 1998, following the Hendrix family's acquisition of the musician's recordings.

    This collection was re-released again in October 2010 as part of the Hendrix family's project to remaster Jimi's discography.

    Blues

    by: Wardance

    Woke up in the morning
    And I found that you're gone
    Just a note "I am sorry"
    And you left me alone
    I can hardly remember
    What happened last night
    Guess we went to a party?
    Did we get in a fight?
    I need you so badly
    Baby why did you go?
    Woke up in the morning
    I've had too much to drink
    I don't know where my pants are
    I'm still to drunk to think
    You took my beer with you
    In the fridge is the phone
    I'm trying to call you
    Why aren't to home
    I need you so badly
    Baby why did you go?
    Woke up in the morning
    And I found that you're gone
    Just a note "I am sorry"
    And you left me alone
    I can hardly remember
    What happened last night
    Guess we went to a party?
    Did we get in a fight?
    I need you so badly
