The Romans transported food and liquid to hundreds of thousands of people across the empire every day and many jugs were needed for this purpose. Jugs played an important in avoiding food shortages. Not only were jugs used for transport but also for storage of goods such as olive oil, wine, and grapes.
Song Review by Thomas Ward. One of the very earliest âhot fiveâ recordings, recorded in November 1925, âGut Bucket Bluesâ is also one of the more dated â it sounds great in the context of other music of the period, but rather lacking compared with the music Armstrong would perform only a few months later.
Chicago's blues style was not only faster and more turbulent than the Southern styles: it also adopted the horns and the electric guitar. Eventually, a new term was coined for this aggressive kind of blues music: rhythm'n'blues. Its birth date is disputed. In 1946 Muddy Waters cut the first records of Chicago's electric blues. In 1947 Billboard's writer Jerry Wexler coined the term rhythm and blues for Chicago's electric blues. In 1949 the Billboard chart for race records was renamed rhythm and blues. The first major rhythm'n'blues festival was held in Los Angeles in 1950 (the Blues & Rhythm Jubilee), as important as the Carnegie Hall concert of 1938 that launched boogie woogie nationwide.
