The history of South Carolina blues is a long; deep�and sometimes painful�story. However; it is a narrative with aspects as compelling as the music itself. Geographical differences in America led to variations in the styles of music that developed from African rhythms. The wet; marshy landscape and hot; muggy weather of the Carolina Lowcountry combined to cultivate not only rice; but a Gullah-based style of South Carolina blues. In drier climates; toward the Midlands and the Upstate; the combination of European influences led to the emergence of Piedmont blues; which in turn spawned country music as well as bluegrass. Those same Gullah roots resulted in four major dance crazes; starting with the Charleston.
