English[edit]
Noun[edit]
- (music) A genre of blues influenced by early 20th century folk music.
Usage notes[edit]
Sometimes used more generally to refer to any style of blues that is traditional as opposed to popular music, though that is more often without the dash: folk blues. For example, the Piedmont blues is a folk/traditional style of blues but it is not influenced by folk music; thus, it is folk blues but it is not folk-blues.
