Wikipedia defines blues rock as follows:
“Blues rock is a musical genre combining bluesy improvisations, commonly over the twelve-bar blues, with rock styles. The core of the blues rock sound is usually created by the electric guitar, piano, bass guitar and drum kit, with the electric guitar often amplified…The style began to develop in the mid-1960s in Britain and the United States. British bands, such as John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds and the Animals and American bands such as the Butterfield Blues Band and the Siegel–Schwall Band, experimented with music from older African-American bluesmen…”
Out of John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers came Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor while the Yardbirds helped to develop Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck.
