Some say the blues are a limb of jazz (represented below by various musicians, such as Jelly Roll Morton). Have a look at this brief history and decide for yourself. The blues have long since been embraced by more than jazz: country, popular, rock and roll. What formally distinguishes the blues from other musical genres is a matter of bar and stanza structure, tonality (key) and flattened "blue notes." The blues, however, span across a wide variety of interpretations. Hart Wand, an Oklahoma City violinist and band leader, is generally credited with composing and publishing the "first" blues song, "Dallas Blues," in 1912. Wand wasn't able to record 'Dallas Blues': the version to which this history points is rendered by pianist Sue Keller. Hart Wand 1912 Pianist: Sue Keller Lead Belly, a folk and gospel singer of the same period, introduced guitar as a main medium of the blues, first recording in 1912. Lead Belly 1912 Lead Belly 1934 Lead Belly 1934 Lead Belly 1935 Lead Belly 1935 Lead Belly 1941 Lead Belly 1942 Lead Belly 1944 Lead Belly 1944 Where Did You Sleep Last Night Lead Belly 1944 Lead Belly 1944 Lead Belly 1944 William Handy, a brass musician, is often called the "Father" of the blues. 'St. Louis Blues' and 'Bunch of Blues' below are recordings by Handy. 'Yellow Dog Blues', however, is thanks again to pianist Sue Keller. William Handy 1914 William Handy 1914 Pianist: Sue Keller William Handy 1917 Mamie Smith, a vaudeville singer, is the first to record vocal blues with 'Crazy Blues' in 1920, so popular that a million copies of it are sold. Mamie Smith 1920 Mamie Smith 1921 Mamie Smith 1921 Mamie Smith 1921 Mamie Smith 1926 Mamie Smith 1929 Mamie Smith 1931 Mamie Smith 1935 Ethel Waters (Blackbird) first recorded in 1921, first a couple jazz songs ('The New York Glide' and 'At the New Jump Steady Ball'), then a couple blues tunes ('Oh Daddy' and 'Down Home Blues'). Waters can also be found in A Birth of Swing Jazz. Ethel Waters 1921 Ethel Waters 1921 Ethel Waters 1921 Ethel Waters 1921 Film: 'On With the Show' Sara Martin was an enormously popular blues vocalist who started her career doing vaudeville, later moving on to jug band music. Her first release, 'T'aint Nobody's Business', was in 1922. Sara Martin 1922 Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do Sara Martin 1923 With Sylvester Weaver Sara Martin 1924 Jug band I'm Gonna Be a Lovin' Old Soul Sara Martin 1928 With King Oliver Trixie Smith first recorded in 1922 with 'My Man Rocks Me (With One Steady Roll)'. Trixie Smith 1922 Trixie Smith 1938 Trixie Smith 1938 During the same year, 1923, Ma Rainey released her first recordings, 'Bad Luck Blues' and 'Bo-Weavil Blues'. Ma Rainey 1923 Ma Rainey 1923 Ma Rainey 1923 Ma Rainey 1924 Bessie Smith released her first recording, 'Down Hearted Blues', in 1923.

She would cut 122 tracks until 1932, then die of heart attack in 1935. Clara Smith 1923 With Bessie Smith and Fletcher Henderson Clara Smith 1924 Clara Smith 1926 Clara Smith 1928 Ain't Got Nobody To Grind My Coffee Clara Smith 1929
Blues guitarist Sylvester Weaver's first recordings in 1923 (with Sara Martin), 'Longing for Daddy Blues' and 'I've Got to Go and Leave My Daddy Behind', are unfound for this history. But two weeks later he cut a couple tracks, 'Guitar Blues' and 'Guitar Rag', the latter below. Sylvester Weaver 1923 Sylvester Weaver 1927 With Walter Beasley Like early jazz which had two main branches, developing out of Chicago in the north and New Orleans in the south, so it was with the blues, musicians gravitating to Chicago in the north and the Mississippi Delta in the south. Big Joe Williams, an early Delta blues musician, often played a nine-string guitar. He released 'Baby Don't Leave Me' in 1923, about ten years later than Lead Belly's first recording (1912), with Dad Tracy, a one-string violinist. Big Joe Williams 1923 Big Joe Williams 1923 Live performance 1965 Big Joe Williams 1935 Big Joe Williams 1935 Providence Help the Poor People Big Joe Williams 1935 Somebody's Been Borrowin' That Stuff Big Joe Williams 1937 I Won't Be In Hard Luck No More Big Joe Williams 1941 Big Joe Williams 1941 Big Joe Williams 1947 Big Joe Williams 1961 Big Joe Williams 1966 Banjo player Papa Charlie Jackson mixed blues with ragtime, first recording in 1924, 'Airy Man Blues' and 'Lawdy Lawdy Blues' among his first. (The recordings of those two songs below are scratchy, but all that could be found.) Papa Charlie Jackson 1924 Papa Charlie Jackson 1924 Papa Charlie Jackson 1925 Papa Charlie Jackson 1925 Papa Charlie Jackson 1925 Papa Charlie Jackson 1926 Papa Charlie Jackson 1929 Guitarist and violinist Lonnie Johnson first recorded in 1925 as the prize of winning a blues contest. Johnson plays violin on 'Ball and Chain Blues' below.

Blending blues with ragtime, his first release was 'Early Morning Blues' in 1926 with 'West Coast Blues' on the B side. Blind Blake 1926 Blind Blake 1926 Blind Blake 1926 Vocalist: Leola Wilson Blind Blake 1926 Blind Blake 1926 Come On Boys Let's Do That Messin' Around Blind Blake 1926 Vocalist: Leola Wilson Blind Blake 1926 Blind Blake 1926 Blind Blake 1926 Blind Blake 1926 Blind Blake 1927 Blind Blake 1927 Blind Blake 1927 Blind Blake 1929 Blind Lemon Jefferson was a traveling guitarist who first recorded in 1926 with 'I Want to Be Like Jesus In My Heart' and 'All I Want is that Pure Religion', both below. Blind Lemon Jefferson 1926 All I Want Is That Pure Religion Blind Lemon Jefferson 1926 I Want To Be Like Jesus In My Heart Blind Lemon Jefferson 1927 Blind Lemon Jefferson 1927 Blind Lemon Jefferson 1927 Blind Lemon Jefferson 1927 Blind Lemon Jefferson 1927 See That My Grave Is Kept Clean Pianist Jelly Roll Morton and his band, the Red Hot Peppers, released 'Jelly Roll Blues' in 1926. Jelly Roll is a pivotal figure in early jazz transitioning from ragtime and will be found in Jazz 2 as well. Jelly Roll Morton 1923 Jelly Roll Morton 1926 Jelly Roll Morton 1930 Jelly Roll Morton 1938 Jelly Roll Morton 1938 Jelly Roll Morton 1939 Jelly Roll Morton 1939 Victoria Spivey first records with 'Black Snake Blues' and 'Dirty Woman Blues' in 1926. Victoria Spivey 1926 Victoria Spivey 1927 Victoria Spivey 1929 Victoria Spivey 1929 Victoria Spivey 1929 Victoria Spivey 1934 Victoria Spivey 1936 Victoria Spivey 1963 Victoria Spivey 1976 You're My Man (Slick Chick Blues) Blues singer Texas Alexander began recording in 1927 with 'Range In My Kitchen Blues'. But he never sang the blues like he would upon murdering his wife in 1939. After serving only five years in prison he resumed his career until his death, of syphilis, in 1954. Some mistakenly believe that Alexander was the first to record 'The House Of the Rising Sun'. The song of the matter is 'The Rising Sun' below. It is obviously a different song. (The first to record 'The House Of the Rising Sun' was country western musician Clarence Ashley in 1933. Ashley can be found in A Birth of Country Western.) Texas Alexander 1927 Texas Alexander 1927 Texas Alexander 1928 Texas Alexander 1928 Cornet: King Oliver Texas Alexander 1928 Texas Alexander 1928 Texas Alexander 1929 With Little Hat Jones Texas Alexander 1934 Texas Alexander 1934 Hailing from Arkansas, guitarist Big Bill Broonzy first recorded in 1927, 'Big Bill Blues' and 'House Rent Stomp' among his first.

In 1928 he formed the Jug Stompers. Though the group disbanded in 1930, after which Cannon largely retired, some twenty years he revived his career, next recording in 1956. Gus Cannon 1927 Gus Cannon 1927 Gus Cannon 1927 Gus Cannon 1927 Gus Cannon 1927 Gus Cannon 1927 Gus Cannon 1927 Gus Cannon 1928 Gus Cannon 1929 Gus Cannon 1930 Josh White, guitarist, got his first taste of blues as a child rendering services for blind street singers. He became a session guitarist for Paramount in 1927, making many recordings as a backup musician before producing his first single in 1932. Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1932 Josh White 1935 Josh White 1935 Josh White 1935 Pianist Leroy Carr and guitarist Scrapper Blackwell formed their partnership in 1928. Their first release in 1928, 'How Long Blues', was the best-selling blues tune that year. Scrapper Blackwell & Leroy Carr 1928 Scrapper Blackwell & Leroy Carr 1934 Scrapper Blackwell & Leroy Carr 1928 Scrapper Blackwell & Leroy Carr 1932 Guitarist Mississippi John Hurt went to Memphis and New York City in 1928 to record six 78s (12 songs) for Okeh Records. They sold so poorly that he returned to obscurity in Avalon, Mississippi. Rediscovered in 1963, he then released his first album, only to die of heart attack three years later. Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Got the Blues (Can't Be Satisfied) Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Praying On the Old Camp Ground Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1928 Mississippi John Hurt 1963 Delta blues guitarist Tommy Johnson released his first recordings in 1928.

Nixon enjoyed a long musical relationship with guitarist Sleepy John Estes. Their first recordings together in 1929 are unfound for this history. Sleepy John Estes & Hammie Nixon 1929 Sleepy John Estes & Hammie Nixon 1976 Sleepy John Estes & Hammie Nixon 1976 Sleepy John Estes 1938 Everybody Ought to Make a Change Sleepy John Estes 1965 Sleepy John Estes 1995 Charlie Patton was a Mississippi Delta blues guitarist.

Charlie Patton 1929 Charlie Patton 1929 Charlie Patton 1929 Charlie Patton 1930 Charlie Patton 1934 Charlie Patton 1934 Charlie Patton 1934 T-Bone Walker was the first musician to record electric guitar. He began his recording career in 1929 with 'Trinity River Blues' and 'Wichita Falls Blues'. He also played with a lot of jazz musicians and, like Muddy Waters, would have great prestige in the development of rock and roll. More T-Bone Walker in A Birth of Rock & Roll. T-Bone Walker 1929 T-Bone Walker 1929 T-Bone Walker 1940 T-Bone Walker 1942 T-Bone Walker 1946 T-Bone Walker 1947 T-Bone Walker 1948 The first recordings by guitarist Son House in 1930 below are of poor quality, but they were at least available. Son House 1930 Son House 1930 Son House 1930 Son House 1930 Son House 1930 Son House 1930 Son House 1930 'When You're Smiling, the Whole World Smiles With You' was jazz singer Georgia White's first recording in 1930. Unfortunately no examples earlier than 1936 could be found for this history. Georgia White 1936 Georgia White 1936 I Just Want To Be Your Stingaree Georgia White 1936 Georgia White 1936 Georgia White 1937 Georgia White 1937 Blues singer Doctor Clayton's first recordings in 1935 are unfound for this history. The earliest release listed below is 'Pearl Harbor Blues' in 1942. Doctor Clayton 1942 Doctor Clayton 1942 Robert Johnson, also a Delta blues guitarist, made his first recording, 'Kind Hearted Woman Blues' in 1936. He would die only two years later. Robert Johnson 1936 Robert Johnson 1936 Robert Johnson 1936 Robert Johnson 1936 Robert Johnson 1936 Robert Johnson 1936 Sonny Boy Williamson I also played harmonica, first recording in 1937 with 'Good Morning Little School Girl'. Sonny Boy Williamson I 1937 Good Morning Little School Girl Sonny Boy Williamson I 1941 Gospel singer and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe released her first four recordings in 1938, 'My Man and I', below, among them. Tharpe will also be found in A Birth of Jazz 3 and A Birth of Rock and Roll. Sister Rosetta Tharpe 1938 Sister Rosetta Tharpe 1941 Sister Rosetta Tharpe 1961 Vocalist Big Joe Turner, first recording in 1938 ('Roll Em Pete' in A Birth of Rock and Roll), was an important early rocker as well. Big Joe Turner 1939 Big Joe Turner 1941 Big Joe Turner 1956 Big Walter Horton (Shakey), an harmonica player from Memphis, first pursued Mississippi Delta blues, then became involved with the Chicago blues. He first recorded in 1939 (unfound). Due to poor health he dropped out of the music scene for several years in the forties. Later resuming his career, among his first releases was 'Evening Sun' (1953) with Johnny Shines. Big Walter Horton 1953 With Johnny Shines Pianist Champion Jack Dupree, so named because he had been a boxer, first recorded his Chicago blues in 1940. Dupree first only sang 'Careless Love' (written by William Handy in 1926) for Papa Bue's 1962 rendition, but a later piano solo in 1991 reveals his beautiful command of the keyboard. Champion Jack Dupree 1940 Champion Jack Dupree 1940 Champion Jack Dupree 1940 Champion Jack Dupree 1940 Champion Jack Dupree 1954 Champion Jack Dupree 1962 Vocals for Papa Bue Champion Jack Dupree 1963 Champion Jack Dupree 1991 Piano solo Guitarist Robert Lockwood made his first recording, 'Black Spider Blues', with blues vocalist Doctor Clayton in 1941. Robert Lockwood 1941 With Doctor Clayton Robert Lockwood 1941 Robert Lockwood 1951 Robert Lockwood 1996 Muddy Waters released his first recording, 'Country Blues', in 1941. Waters will be found in A Birth of Rock & Roll as well. Muddy Waters 1941 Muddy Waters 1950 Guitarist Johnny Shines first toured the south, then became involved with the Chicago blues. He first began recording in 1942, but couldn't, for several years, find a label that would release his sound to the public. When he did finally make his first release in 1953, with Big Walter Horton, the sales were so bad that he quit music and became a construction worker. He was discovered again in a Chicago blues bar, taking photographs, which led to recording with Horton again in 1966. This Birth of the Blues otherwise pauses, before entering into the sixties via artists whose careers were in their infancy in relevance to Shines'. Johnny Shines 1953 With Walter Horton Johnny Shines 1966 With Walter Horton Johnny Shines 1966 With Walter Horton Layin' Down My Shoes and Clothes Jazz singer Dinah Washington released her first recording, 'Evil Gal Blues', in 1943 with Lionel Hampton. More Dinah Washington can be found in Jazz 7 as well. Dinah Washington 1943 With Lionel Hampton Dinah Washington 1944 Guitarist, Lightning Hopkins, born in Houston, added his Texas sound to the blues, his first recording, 'Katie Mae', in 1946. Lightnin' Hopkins 1946 Lightnin' Hopkins 1946 Lightnin' Hopkins 1947 Lightnin' Hopkins 1949 Lightnin' Hopkins 1966 Recording Lightnin' Hopkins 1966 Live performance Harmonica player, Little Walter, was the first to amplify harmonica, holding the instrument to the microphone. His first recording, 'Ora-nelle Blues' was released in 1947. More of Little Walter in our You Tube Birth of Rock and Roll. Little Walter 1947 Little Walter 1952 Little Walter 1954 Little Walter 1955 Little Walter 1955 Little Walter 1957 Guitarist, John Lee Hooker, first recorded in 1948, the year before Lead Belly died (1949). Unlike Lead Belly, who played acoustic, Hooker got himself an electric guitar. John Lee Hooker 1948 John Lee Hooker 1948 John Lee Hooker 1948 Guitarist, Floyd Jones, born in Arkansas, was a Delta blues musician before becoming involved with the Chicago blues. He first released 'Stockyard Blues' with Snooky Pryor in 1948. That recording is unfound for this history, but a later performance by Jones in 1970 is listed below. Jones also recorded with pianist Sunnyland Slim, below. Floyd Jones 1948 Live performance 1970 Floyd Jones 1952 With Sunnyland Slim Guitarist Moody Jones, brother of Floyd Jones, released his first recording, with Snooky Pryor, in 1948 as well. Gospel oriented, he quit music in 1955 to become a pastor. Moody Jones 1948 With Snooky Pryor Snooky Pryor, another Chicago blues musician first released, 'Telephone Blues', in 1948 with Moody Jones, under Moody Jones above. Snooky Pryor 1952 Snooky Pryor 1956 Snooky Pryor 1994 About the same time BB King (Riley B. King) released his first recording, 'Miss Martha King', in 1949, and electric guitar becomes fairly institutionalized as the major instrument of the blues. BB King 1949 BB King 1953 BB King 1957 BB King 1970 BB King 1971 BB King 1995 Catfish Blues (Fishin' After Me) Soul singer Bobby Bland released his first single ('Booted' with 'I Love You Til the Day I Die' flip side) in 1951 (unfound). He produced several more singles in 1952, one among them below. More Bobby Bland in A Birth of Rock & Roll. Bobby Bland 1952 Bobby Bland 1963 Bobby Bland 1967 Bobby Bland 2006 Elmore James, another Delta blues guitarist, released his first recording, 'Dust My Broom', in 1951. Elmore James 1951 Elmore James 1955 Elmore James 1957 Elmore James 1957 Elmore James 1957 Elmore James 1960 Elmore James 1960 Elmore James 1961 Elmore James 1969 Sonny Boy Williamson II (also known as Rice Miller) was yet another Delta blues musician, 'Eyesight To The Blind' among his first recordings in 1951. Sonny Boy Williamson II 1951 Sonny Boy Williamson II 1953 Sonny Boy Williamson II 1953 Sonny Boy Williamson II 1954 Sonny Boy Williamson II 1963 Sonny Boy Williamson II 1963 Howling Wolf, guitar and harmonica, first recorded in 1951, 'Moanin' At Midnight' and 'How Many More Years'. The version of 'How Many More Years' below is from a later recording in 1966. Howlin' Wolf 1951 Version 1966 Howlin' Wolf 1951 Howlin' Wolf 1954 Version 1968 Howlin' Wolf 1956 Howlin' Wolf 1964 Howlin' Wolf 1964 Howlin' Wolf 1966 Howlin' Wolf 1967 'Homesick' and 'Lonesome Ole Train' were Homesick James' first recordings in 1952. Unfortunately they are unfound for this history. James was a (slide) guitarist. Homesick James 1964 Homesick James 1980 With Snooky Pryor Guitarist Albert King (older brother of Freddie King but not related to BB King) began his professional career in 1950 with the Groove Boys. He released his first single, 'Be On Your Merry Way' in 1953 with 'Bad Luck Blues' (unfound) flip side. King didn't release an album until 1962, 'The Big Blues' (followed by 'Born Under a Bad Sign' in '67). Albert King 1953 Albert King 1970 Albert King 1978 Feel Like Breakin' Up Somebody's Home Albert King 1983 Live with Stevie Ray Vaughan Albert King 1992 Freddie King (younger brother of Albert King but not related to BB King), guitar and harmonica, first recorded the same year as his older brother although those cuts have never been released. He afterward spent a few years as a sideman for various musicians (such as Muddy Waters) before his first release, 'Country Boy', with Margaret Whitfield in 1956. With the exception of 'Country Boy' all tracks below are live performances. Freddie King 1956 With Margaret Whitfield Freddie King 1966 Freddie King 1966 Freddie King 1966 Freddie King 1971 Freddie King 1972 Freddie King 1973 Freddie King 1974 Freddie King 1975 Guitarist and harmonica player Jimmy Reed released his first recording, 'You Don't Have To Go', in 1954. Unfortunately alcohol and epilepsy interfered with Reed's skills, and he died relatively young (age fifty) of respiratory failure. Jimmy Reed 1954 Jimmy Reed 1961 Jimmy Reed 1961 Jimmy Reed 1962 Jimmy Reed 1962 Guitarist and harp player John Mayall is just yet a bit of a leap ahead for this history, his first release, 'Crawling Up a Hill' ('Mr. James' flip side unfound), in 1964. Mayall released his first album, 'John Mayall Plays John Mayall', in 1965, after which guitarist Eric Clapton joined and recorded with his band the same year. (Guitarist Mick Taylor joined the Bluesbreakers in 1967, first appearing on the album 'Crusade'.) His group now called the (original) Bluesbreakers, Mayall released his next album, 'Blues Breakers', in 1966.
