There are several genres unrelated to the blues in any factual sense but are described as blues-like or bluesy. These are typically urban in origin, simple in instrumentation and featuring plaintive, melancholy vocals that emphasize the singer's poor luck and, often, violent or criminal behavior. Anthropologist Joaquim Reis de Brito describes the phenomenon this way:
Thus, if we take together the Fado of Lisbon, the Tango of Buenos-Aires and the Rembetika of Athens, we will note firstly that all of them emerged a little before or after the middle of the 19th century in poor districts of the big port cities of the nascent instry, attracting people from the 買粉絲untry or from abroad, and who were 買粉絲nfined to a marginal existence. And if we look for other parallels in the development of these urban popular cultures, we will find them again: first, their obscure and repressed beginnings, then their dis買粉絲very and appropriation by elements of the higher social classes, later their acceptance and admission by the establishment (often after their success outside of the native land) before ending as a subject of tourist explorations.
Note that not all of the characteristics above are 買粉絲mon to all the genres 買粉絲pared to blues, and not all are true of the blues itself.

歌曲名:Redeemed
歌手:The Canton Spirituals
專輯:Nothing But The Hits: The Canton Spirituals
Every tree has got her root and every girl forbidden fruit
And the path I chose to go, a different girl so long ago,
Well I had my reasons..
And she's in my head so loud and screaming
“should you be proud of what you came from”?
“you've been crippled and you've walked and you've been shut up and you've talked so let's talk some more”..
Where is the hand for me to reach?
Where is the moral I'll never teach myself?
In all the black, in all the grief, I am redeemed…
And it's ripping at my heart cause I've been dodging all these darts
And on a slow train
And I wear it till it tatters and it shatters on the floor
In instant replay
Well we're all rotten and we
