The Blues developed in three principle regions, Georgia, the Carolinas, Texas, and Mississippi. Georgia and the Carolina Blues is noted for its clarity of enunciation and regularity of rhythm. The Texas Blues is noted for its high, clear singing accompanied by supple guitar lines. The Texas Blues is the most intense and influential type.
