   Other than the obvious chronological difference-before 1941/after 1945, there are some differences in style, instrumentation, etc. The post war music of America (including pop, r & b, blues, country, etc.) reflected the new found optimism of most Americans. The years of conflict, rationing, death and economic hardship were behind them. This is reflected lyrically primarily, but a more driving, more rambunctious music was needed to complement the subject matter. Of course, there were optimistic songs before the war and desolate songs after, but overall there is a marked difference in most forms of American music after the mid-forties.

   Pre war is more ragtime jazz and Delta blues. Post war is when the electric guitar hit the blues and the Chicago influence began.

   Pre war blues was played before the war. Post war blues was played after the war.
