Imagine a world without the blues. An imperfect world made worse. The blues are a way of life, a way to escape, a way to cope. I dare not imagine a world without the blues. Blues instrumental music can set the tone in your home, office or classroom when you need to unwind and get a little mellow. From the deep and moving bass lines to the hypnotic and innovative piano melodies, blues music has mastered the beauty of melancholy. The signature blues sound is recognized all around the world, with or without the accompanying lyrics.

The history of the Blues dates back to the Deep South. African Americans created a style of music. A style based on music they sang in church, at work, and during recreation. This was during the end of the 19th century. Now the blues has evolved. It has grown into what it is today and spawned into other genres like rock and roll.

Instrumental blues music has its own characteristics, its own private way of curing the blues. Blues is dramatic, enchantment, rhythm that allows you to escape reality. The lyrics are depressed, repressed, a dark side of life. The lyrics are a way of expressing misery and woe. Instrumental blues is a way of leaving the lyrics behind and bringing the woe of your emotions to the forefront. It is a way to place the lyrics of your emotions within the music, rid you of the artists interpretation, and claim the music for your own. It inspires, cradles, and holds you in a way that an artists lyrics just cannot do.

Blues instrumental music is great for a bunch of different things. In the office, in the classroom, and public places it is great background choice. In the office it keeps workers motivated. Its a way to help pass time and stay focused. At school it helps stir creativity, inspire thought, and keep students moving forward towards their goals. In public places, it calms nerves, keeps customers cool, and gives folks a place to relax.
