Best Answer

The Blues is as revelant today or tomorrow or any other day as is any other form of human expression, no matter when it was uttered, sung, spoken or written. Why would something Yank Rachell or Son House said sixty years ago be any less valid than something said by GaGa last night? That makes no sense to me.

Blues was derived from a form of jazz in the early 90's stemming from sad feelings of the era. However, it is just a genre. To say it is modern would be like saying reggae is modern.
