Il significato del termine Blues

Oltre che identificare un genere musicale afro-americano, il sostantivo blues identifica uno stato di profonda tristezza, diverso dall’aggettivo blue che significa: malinconico, triste. Quest’ultimo deriva dall’espressione “to have the blue devils” (avere i diavoli blu) ovvero "essere triste".
In alcune canzoni i Blues vengono considerati come delle vere e proprie entità, un esempio per tutti la celebre Good Morning Blues.
