Electrified twelve-bar sound
Blues rock is a style of rock music heavily influenced by blues, featuring electric guitar work, extended solos, and the chord progressions and emotional intensity of traditional blues.
The genre emerged in the 1960s with British and American bands drawing on earlier blues musicians: Cream and Led Zeppelin pioneered blues rock.
The style emphasizes improvisation and raw, guitar-driven sound.
