Parent Genre: blues

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. This genre is characterized by its use of acoustic guitars, harmonicas, and sometimes other instruments such as banjos or fiddles. 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.
