Le Blues-Rock

Bien que le début du rock’n’roll a été fondé dans le blues, le Blues-Rock n’est devenu pleinement qu’une catégorie à la fin des années 60. Le Blues-rock a souligné deux choses – la forme traditionnelle de trois accords de blues et l’improvisation instrumentale.

Empruntant l’idée d’un combo instrumental et la forte amplification du rock’n’roll, les blues-rockers originaux comme Cream qui ont grandit dans la tradition du British Blues d’Alexis Korner et John Mayall, tout comme les groupes américains comme Paul Butterfield Blues Band et Canned Heat, jouaient de longues improvistaions connues sur les albums de jazz, comme dans les spectacles de blues. Le style devint fort populaire et les groupes qui les ont suivi jouaient encore plus fort et étaient plus orienté vers le riff. De cette approche est apparu le southern rock et le heavy metal, les deux utilisant une base de blues et de longs solos de guitares. Au début des années 1970, la ligne entre le blues-rock et le hard-rock est devenu moins flagrante, des groupes de boogie rock comme ZZ Top employaient une technique de production d’album-rock qui tentait d’obscurcir leurs racines blues.

Cependant, le blues-rock prend du recul au hard-rock, et un grand nombre d’artistes continue de jouer (et réécrire) des standards blues standards et écrivent leurs propres chansons dans le même ordre d’idée. Dans les années 80 et 90, le blues-rock est devenu plus près de ces racines que dans les années 60 et 70, quand des artistes commes les Fabulous Thunderbirds et Stevie Ray Vaughan atteignent le statut de vedette rock. Dans les années 80, le blues-rock est devenu une tradition appréciée comme le blues.
