[Western Music] Classic Blues Rock Songs: A Summary of Recommended Popular Tracks

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Blues, known as the origin of various genres such as jazz and rock, also has its own subgenres.

Among them, blues rock is, quite literally, a genre that refers to rock built on the foundation of the blues.

It was born primarily among British musicians influenced by authentic American blues, but in practice, works labeled as blues rock often incorporate many other elements, such as garage and psychedelic.

In this article, we’ve picked out classic Western songs categorized as “blues rock,” including bands from the 2000s onward.

Enjoy it together with our other feature currently available on the site: “Blues Rock Masterpieces: Must-Listen Recommended Albums.”
