King and other musicians and guests.|"Sweet Home ChicagoSweet Home ChicagoBlues standards are blues songs that have attained a high level of recognition due to having been widely performed and recorded.{{sfn|Herzhaft|1992|p=435}} They represent the best known and most interpreted blues songs that are seen as standing the test of time.{{sfn|Barrett|Garcia|2010|p=73}} Blues standards come from different eras and styles, such as ragtime-vaudeville, Delta and other early acoustic styles, and urban blues from Chicago and the West Coast.{{sfn|Herzhaft|1992|pp=436, 440, 442}}Many blues songs were developed in American folk music traditions and individual songwriters are sometimes unidentified.{{sfn|Herzhaft|1992|p=435}} Blues historian Gerard Herzhaft noted:{{Blockquote|In the case of very old blues songs, there is the constant recourse to oral tradition that conveyed the tune and even the song itself while at the same time evolving for several decades. This was long before the first recording. The fact that such blues are attributed to Charlie Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and Blind Blake often means that they were the first to record them.{{sfn|Herzhaft|1992|p=435}}}}Compounding the problem is that, in the earlier days, many blues songs were not copyrighted.{{sfn|Herzhaft|1992|p=435}} Later, the rights were claimed by those who recorded a subsequent version or were managers or record company owners.{{sfn|Herzhaft|1992|p=435}}{{efn|For example, "Crosscut Saw" is usually attributed to Tommy McClennan, whose 1941 recording was the first to be released (Tony Hollins, who recorded a version three months earlier that was unissued until 1992, has also been mentioned).{{harvnb|O'Neal|van Singel|2002|p=208}} In 1964, R. G. Ford, a Memphis, Tennessee, attorney, filed for the copyright in his own name after a group he represented recorded the tune.{{harvnb|Olsson|1970|p=112}} Ford is listed as the songwriter on records by Albert King (who popularized the song in 1967) and most subsequent releases. Some commentators, who may be unfamiliar with the song's origins, have referred to "Crosscut Saw" as "the R. G. Ford song".WEB,weblink Pendragon, Jana, Corey Stevens & Texas Flood: Blue Drops of Rain{{snd, Review| publisher = AllMusic| access-date = September 3, 2021}}}}Nearly one half of the blues standards listed were first recorded in the pre-World War II acoustic blues era, before music publications tracked the sales of blues records.{{sfn|Whitburn|1988|p=14}} Many popular renditions, as reflected in the record charts, are more modern versions featuring electric instruments. For example, Robert Johnson and Tampa Red, who were the first to record the most blues standards on the list at four each, performed them as solo or duo acoustic performances. B.B. King and Muddy Waters, with the most standards on the charts at five each,{{sfn|Whitburn|1988|pp=239, 435}} used electric blues-ensemble arrangements.Music journalist Richie Unterberger commented on the adaptability of blues: "From its inception, the blues has always responded to developments in popular music as a whole: the use of guitar and piano in American folk and gospel, the percussive rhythms of jazz, the lyrics of Tin Pan Alley, and the widespread use of amplification and electric instruments all helped shape the evolution of the blues."{{sfn|Unterberger|1996|p=381}} Blues standards that appeared on the main charts{{efn|name="Charts"}} in the 1960s and 1970s often had been recorded by rhythm and blues, soul, and rock musicians.{{harvnb|Whitburn|1988|pp=59, 60, 101, 158, 295, 391, 453}}; WEB,weblink Them – Singles, Official Charts, February 21, 2023, ; WEB,weblink Cream: Chart history – Billboard Hot 100, Billboard (magazine), Billboard, February 21, 2023, none, ; {{harvnb|Russo|Hinman|2001|p=45}}; WEB,weblink Rolling Stones – Singles, Official Charts, February 21, 2023, ; {{harvnb|Russo|1994|p=21}}; {{harvnb|Billboard|1969|p=96}}; {{harvnb|Billboard|1966|p=24}} Each song listed has been identified by five or more music writers as a blues standard.
