It's Blues Rock Week!
Early rock 'n' roll owes a lot to blues, but blues rock as a style developed in the 60s especially towards the end of the decade.

Instead of posting a whole bunch of some of my favourite Blues Rock tracks, I thought I would talk about the genre that we basically stole from America in the late 50's and early 60's and made it our own and then sold it back to you!
However it was a definite appreciation of a genre that was on the wane in America and in Britain we gave a stage for Blues artists to perform to a new appreciative audience.

ZZ Top
The Reverend don't play a lot of note, but whatever he plays he makes them count. The Rolling Stones - Hand of Fate The Rolling Stones at their best, the music get a little funky at the bridge but the song has real Bluesy lyrics kinda harken back to Mississippi John Hurt's "Stack O' Lee" The Yardbirds The bass and harp make the song. (Not the actually video for the song.) Ram Jam - Black Betty 1977 Ram Jam's Leadbelly cover, this one has the extended solo, it's only 3:55 long not 5:30, the promo video is like around 2:33 Led Zeppelin- Bring It On Home I love how the song changes from slow blues to heavy blues rock. Jonsey and Bonzo, one of the greatest rhythm sections of all time.

"Mississippi Queen" is my all-time favorite blues rock. "White Room" by Cream too. (even though I'm not a big Clapton fan)
Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Telephone Song". I love the way he compressed the lead guitar solo on this one.

ZZ Top - Tres Hombres
One of ZZ Top's best albums. "Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers" from 'Tres Hombres'. (This is an album all rock/roll music enthusiast should own)
Black Betty is a favorite, and a classic. Last edited by Necromancer; 06-09-2011 at 07:53 AM. |
