Blues » Early Acoustic Blues » Pre-War Blues
Prewar Blues is country-blues recorded before World War II. Prewar blues is entirely acoustic, but there are variations to the style -- it could be acoustic guitars, piano blues, solo singers, string bands, or jug bands. The primary unifying factors are that the music is all acoustic, is usually a folk song, and was recorded prior to World War II.
