Description

Blues and Boogie Rock evolved from the first wave of British Invasion bands, including the Rolling Stones, the Animals, Them, and the Yardbirds. These bands, and to a lesser extent their American counterparts, imitated their heroes: Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, and other blues artists. Many focused on the blues' 12-bar form, especially its well-worn, familiar shuffle, and copped a license from guitar stingers B.B. King and Albert King to make the guitar solo one of the more prominent parts of a song.
