Mississippi Delta Blues as practiced by John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson, and Muddy Waters.
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.

Rural areas often have higher rates of poverty due to limited job opportunities, lower wages, and lack of access to social services. In comparison, urban areas like Memphis may have more job opportunities, higher wages, and a greater availability of social services, which can help reduce poverty rates among families.
