It seems there may be a slight error in the provided responses; "Blue" might be intended to be "Blues," and "Dixie" is likely intended to be "Dixieland," which is a style of jazz.
- Jazz has indeed influenced many modern genres, including rock and country music, particularly in terms of improvisation and complex harmonies.
- Gospel music has had a significant impact on the development of soul, R&B, and also influenced rock music, particularly through its vocal styles and expressions.
- Blues, which is likely what was intended by "Blue," is one of the most direct precursors to rock music and has also had a strong influence on country music, especially early country blues and later country rock styles. The blues scale and the emotional depth of blues lyrics have contributed widely to the development of rock music.
- Dixieland, which could be what "Dixie" refers to, is an early style of jazz that has influenced the evolution of early jazz forms, but it is less directly a precursor to rock and country compared to blues.
Among the styles listed, blues is the most influential in terms of shaping current genres such as country and rock music. Therefore, the most accurate answer to which 1800s musical style has helped shape current genres like country and rock is:
Blues
