Description

Urban Blues focuses lyrically on life in the city. The term "Urban Blues" was initially used to distinguish between Uptown and Country Blues styles, but came into its own as a style in the 1940s. Urban Blues encompasses everything from Louis Jordan's Jump Blues to the newest tweaks of jazz, including the crooning of Percy Mayfield and Ray Charles -- though always with a citified feel.
