Acoustic blues is a genre of music that features stripped-down, raw instrumentation and soulful vocals. It often incorporates elements of traditional African American folk music and storytelling.

The lyrics often touch on themes of love, loss, and struggle, and the music itself is deeply rooted in the history and culture of the American South.
