Blues Rock
Blues Rock fuses the raw, high-energy drive of rock and roll with the soulful depth and harmonic complexity of traditional blues. It is characterized by gritty electric guitar riffs, expressive string bends, extended improvisational solos, and powerful, emotive vocal performances, often built upon 12-bar blues structures.
Origin: United Kingdom and United States; evolved from American Delta and Chicago blues adapted by British rock bands.
Era: 1960s to present, peaking during the British Invasion and the classic rock era of the 1970s.
