I like this distinction. ReppedNo odds of it. It is bullshyt. People just say Blues, but what they don't realze is that there are different versions of Blues. What we call Blues now days which is essentially Delta Blues, evolved on plantations and in the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta (Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas). Delta Blues are not the same as Appalachian Blues which is from Georgia and the Carolinas. Appalachian Blues is the closest version to what was brought from West Africa. The shyt they are calling Desert Blues is actually borrowing from Delta Blues fused with Rock and Roll which is also Delta Blues. As stated earlier Delta Blues evolved essentially in one area in the United States.
