Its roots may have started in America, but its endless offshoots and far-reaching influence can be seen around the world for over a century. This month, uDiscover takes a deeper dive into the “Talkin Blues”, from revisiting where it all began on Highway 61, to the most influential songs, the stories behind blues nicknames, seminal albums and the artists keeping the blues alive today.
