Talking blues is a form of American Folk Music with spoken or nearly spoken vocals. It's characterized by rhythmic delivery, and can have a partial or complete absence of melody. Its lyrics usually feature dry humor and social commentary, often in the form of rhyming couplets followed by a single, unrhymed line to conclude each verse. The genre originates and takes its name from Chris Bouchillon's 1927 single "Talking Blues." The form later became a staple of the American folk revival, notably utilized by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Bob Dylan. View wiki
