点评:First, you have to know what the Blues are all about. It is a music genre and musical form that originated among African Americans in the Deep South around the 1860s. It incorporates spirituals, work songs, field hollers, chants, shouts and rhymed simple narrative ballads from the African American culture. It is ubiquitous in jazz, R&B and rock 'n roll. Now visit the Blues Hall of Fame Museum in Memphis, a go-to destination for both serious Blues fans and casual visitors who just enjoy good music. Located at 421 South Main Street, the museum tells the history of the Blues and exposes, educates and entertains visitors with all that is Blues culture while highlighting over 400 inductees in five categories -- performer, individual, album, single and literature. Its mission is to preserve the Blues heritage, celebrate Blues recording and performance, expand world-wide awareness of the Blues and ensure the future of this uniquely American art form. It was established in 1980 but the museum wasn't opened to the public until 2015. It is open from 10 to 5 Tuesday through Saturday. It displays instruments, stage costumes, artwork and artifacts. Read stories and see memorabilia associated with such famous Blues artists as B.B. King, W.C. Handy, Koko Taylor, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. Visitors can access an interactive database for biographies, photographs, videos and hundreds of songs and album covers related to specific artists. Dating to 1980, the museum has recognized such talented Blues pioneers and performers such as John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Memphis Minnie, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, Lead Belly, Billie Holiday, Jimmy Rogers, Etta James, Bo Diddley, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Little Richard, Count Basie and Aretha Franklin.
