'The Blues' is a music genre and musical form that originated amongst African-Americans in the Deep South of the United States around the 1860s. Blues music incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads from the African-American culture. The blues form is ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll.
It seems to have gone out of fashion in the 21st century for some season and is rarely heard on radio but the music has not died. And, as with all forms of music, it changes and evolves but the spirit remains. Judging by these recordings as found on YouTube it is as popular as ever (one of the videos below has had 119 million views) So herewith a selection of modern blues which are very definitely 'after midnight' in mood and style.
