Think of rural blues as the original blues. Topics were open and basic--love, loneliness, anger and sadness. These subjects were sung about in an open setting with few people. Think of urban blues as the blues wrapped in a veneer of civilized jobs, big buildings and large populations. The love, loneliness, anger and sadness of the blues as experienced in a big (mostly) heartless city setting. No cotton fields or moonshine in urban blues. But cheating men and women with broken hearts still survive and flourish in a big city setting with its empty streets and faceless masses.
