Description
Mostly played with an acoustic guitar, the sound of Delta Blues is the sound of blues archetypes. This includes the ghostly legend Robert Johnson, Chicago Blues architect Muddy Waters, harmonica master Sonny Boy Williamson II, and the reigning king of the blues, John Lee Hooker. Characterized by passionate lyrics and vocals, Delta Blues is usually performed solo, although some small combos, like Williamson's various groups, have recorded as well.
