The blues rock genre emerged in the mid-1960s as a hybrid form of music that combined elements of the blues and rock n' roll. The genre is generally characterized by a heavy guitar sound, bluesy vocals, and a driving rhythm. Although it is often seen as a subgenre of rock n' roll, blues rock has its own distinct identity. Some of the most famous blues rock bands include The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Blues Brothers.
