Description
In the mid-1960s the rise of British blues and the success of the Beatles'
somewhat experimental album "Rubber Soul", gave rise to a new sound which
primarily came out of the Hippie-"Mekka" that was San Francisco and the
surrounding West Coast. Psychedelic Rock bands got their first engagements
playing British style blues and were accompanied onstage by many legends such as
Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Lightnin' Hopkins and Magic Sam. This blues music
these bands played was strongly infused with their characteristic psychedelic
fuzzed-out sound and did not shy away from experimentation.
