12’ Bar Ramblin’ #55 'More Blues Rock' with Stefan Matussek 12.01.2021

It's well known that Blues music has had a great influence in the shaping of
most popular music we hear today. This influence is audible to varying degrees
in other genres but nowhere as strongly as in Blues-rock (as the name clearly
suggests). This sub-genre of Rock music has its origin in the British blues
bands of the 1960s and has evolved in various directions over the course of the
past half-a-dozen decades. In its beginnings its sound adhered very closely
to the characteristics and structures of blues music, but over time it became
slightly more flexible without losing that distinct blues flavor.
