Blues Rock

Blues Rock is simply a style of rock music that is the inevitable outcome of the blues music of the southern U.S.A. which became transplanted to the mid-northern U.S. when thousands of black Americans were forced to move to northern centers in search of work in the 1930's and 40's. British musicians in the 60's (such as Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck) began emulating the blues musicians of the U.S.(like Muddy Waters) and blues rock was born. It is championed today by artists like Joe Bonamassa of the U.S.A.

Blues Motherland

The phrase "Blues Motherland" is the informal Blues name for the State of Mississippi especially to Mississippians such as the greatest blues legend ever lived, the late and great B.B. King, legendary King of the Blues and native Mississippian;
B.B. King said “"If you had to pick one single spot as the birthplace of the blues, you might say it all started right here," while standing in front of the Dockery seed house in the 1970s Mississippi Public Television documentary, “Good Morning Blues.”

Other informal Blues names for Mississippi is Birthplace of the Blues, Home of the Blues, Delta Blues Motherland, Birthplace of the Delta Blues, Home of the Delta Blues
Oh, Blues Motherland, those who aren’t from you just don’t understand
The facts about demons you struggle with and your mystic grand.
Oh, Blues Motherland, those who aren’t from you just don’t understand
The inner richness of your people and the outer richness of your land.

blues crashing

A pre-planned spontaneous minstrel show in which priviliged white twenty-somethings appear in a public place and dance an over-wrought caricature of how they mistakenly believe colored people danced back when it was still acceptable to call them "colored."
White kid: "We're blues crashing the MLK memorial tomorrow!" *rubs crotch uncomfortably against his friend's younger sister's thigh*
Old black guy: *facepalm*

blues hammer

I reference to a shitty mainstream rock band being marketed as "authentic Blues" in the movie Ghost World.

When the music industry markets the same crappy mainstream music as part of another genre to give the impression that it is edgy or original.
Evanescence is not Goth. Evanescence is a total Blues Hammer when it comes to Gothic Rock.

Greenday is defiantly one of the original Blues Hammers of the fake punk genre.
