The blues is a very interesting harmony, in a lot of ways it is one of a kind. There is no scale that produces three dominant chords, there aren't any scales that even produce two, so to have three 7 chords alone is very interesting, but that also creates a unique way of soloing to use the minor scale over top of these chords instead of the major scale, but it is still a major progression. All of these means we have a scale that has a flat 3rd and a chord that has a 3rd, this creates the opportunity for some very unique soloing. In the key of D the flat 3rd is F and the major 3rd is the F#, the blue note happens when you bend that F up, but not all the way to the F#, so we are playing a note that is BETWEEN the F and F#, the Blue note.
