During the early 20th century in the South, the Blues' expressive forms became the most important influences on the development of popular American music by the 1960s. The Blues is essentially about emotional expression through many instruments. When it comes to the singer, there are many vocal techniques that they use, to create the desired effect. There are many instruments that accompany the central vocal performance: the bending of guitar strings, the classic bottleneck of so many of the great blues guitarists, the harmonica imitating the human voice etc., all of which clearly characterize the essential  Blues performance.
