Blues-rock is a hybrid musical genre combining elements of the blues with rock and roll, with an emphasis on the lead electric guitar. It began to develop as a particular style in the mid-1960s in England and the United States through the work of bands such as Cream and The Rolling Stones, who experimented with music from the older American bluesmen like Elmore James, Bo Diddley, Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters.
