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.
The blues is mostly about the blues scale, 12 bars and the I-IV-V chord progression. Most blues boils down to these three elements - most, but not all. There are so many sub-genres in Blues, it is difficult to name them all, but suffice it to say the R&B, Rock-n-Roll and Soul music are the direct descendants of the blues. There is also Jump Blues, Delta Blues, Piedmont Blues, Chicago Blues, Memphis Blues, Urban/Electric Blues, Zydeco and many more sub-genres that all relate to blues styling.
