Wikipedia:Peer review/Blues/archive2

Blues
This is a central topic in music and (Afro-)American culture. It is referenced more than 1500 times. I think we need to get it featured.

This article has been improved very much in the last weeks. History and influences of the blues have been expanded. Many details have been added to its origins and musical characteristics. We have now more than 40 kB info. I think some pairs of fresh eyes could help us to reduce a bit the length and improve the flow. Thanks.

This article has been once peerreviewed: Peer review/Blues/archive1 (I was the only reviewer) =-o

 * This is a great article, and it should become featured soon. My only problems with the article as it is:
 * It's got some awkward formatting (I just fixed one instance of quotes inside parentheses inside quotes)
 * The "Musical style" subsection seems to have two redundant descriptions of the 12-bar blues chord progression. I think the "I - I - IV - I" version is more accessible than the "tonic - tonic - subdominant - tonic" version. Removing the "tonic" version will involve rearranging the text of the section, though.
