Blues-Rock
Often, the blues is perceived in music as a primitive form of jazz, a style that has developed almost in parallel. However, the concept of the blues has its roots in the late 19th century, and it is inseparably connected with Southern U.S. Negro culture. Pre-war acoustic blues was a part of black folklore, so the attitude of the white population was very bad. By the end of the forties of last century in the Blues finally settled electric guitar. It is hard to say what prompted many to switch from the usual blues acoustic guitar to electric, but the blues since greatly changed. Most often, the electric blues associate the names of Muddy Waters, BB King, T-Bon Walker and Albert Collins. Each of these musicians (and many more not mentioned) are the personification of his time.
His music career they did not currently amassing state – they just lived the blues. All these musicians have reached an unprecedented level of skill in the electric blues, and often their music is directly bordered by rock, so many rock musicians call their own inspiration. But Despite all this, the ratio of the blues from the majority of white Americans has changed for the better only in the sixties of last century, due mainly to the emergence of the blues-rock. History of the blues-rock takes began in the late fifties, and lasts to this day. The first to cross the blues with rock started, oddly enough, not the Americans and British.
