This
week's lecture is “Since 1980s”, the 6th topic of “Blues”, which is a summary of the contents
of “115. Blues: 6. Since 1980s”
introduced on December 16th, 2017.
Since
the 1980s there has been a resurgence of interest in the blues among African-
Americans, particularly around Jackson, Mississippi, and other Deep South
regions.
Deep South, United States
Often referred to as "Soul blues" or "Southern
soul," the music at the center of this phenomenon had new life by
unexpected success of two recordings released by Jackson-based Malaco label,
such as Z. Z. Hill's “Down Home Blues (1982)” and Little Milton's “The Blues is
Alright (1984)”.

Contemporary African-American musicians who make compositions
in this blues style include Bobby Rush, Denise LaSalle, Charles Jones, Bettye
LaVette, Marvin Sease, and Peggy Scott-Adams.
During
the 1980s, blues continued in both traditional and new forms, and Robert Cray
became a major blues artist with his 1986 album "Strong Persuader".
Texas-born guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan gained worldwide popularity with the
release of his debut album, "Texas Flood," in 1983, and John Lee
Hooker regained his popularity with his album "The Healer" in 1989.

However,
since the 1990s, digital multitrack recording and other technological advances
and new marketing strategies including video clip production increased costs,
threatening improvisation, an important element of blues music.
In the 1980s
and 1990s, blues associations began to form in major cities in the United
States, outdoor blues festivals became more common, and more nightclubs and
venues for blues emerged.
Also
in the 1990s, previously largely ignored hill country blues gained some
recognition in both blues and alternative rock music scenes with
Mississippi-born musicians R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough.

Blues
musicians explored various musical genres from the nominees of Blues Music
Awards, previously named W.C. Handy Awards, the Grammy Award for Best
Contemporary Blues Album and the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album,
and the Billboard Blues Album chart provides an overview of current blues hits.
Contemporary blues music has been bred by several blues labels such as
Alligator Records, Ruf Records, Severn Records, Chess Records, Delmark Records,
NorthernBlues Music, Fat Possum Records and Vanguard Records.
