Blues rock
Blues rock is a fusion genre combining elements of blues and rock music. It is primarily an electric ensemble-style music with instrumentation similar to electric blues and rock and roll: electric guitar, electric bass guitar, and drums, often with keyboards and harmonica.
History
Blues rock emerged in the mid-1960s, with bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, and The Animals in the United Kingdom, and Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Canned Heat in the United States. These bands were influenced by the Chicago blues and Delta blues traditions, and they sought to bring a more amplified and rock-oriented sound to the blues.
Characteristics
Blues rock typically features a strong backbeat, a prominent bass line, and the use of the 12-bar blues structure. The electric guitar is often the focal point, with extensive use of blues scales, pentatonic scales, and guitar solos. Vocals in blues rock are often gritty and emotional, reflecting the genre's blues roots.
