British blues, emerging in the 1960s, is a fusion of American blues with British rock sensibilities. Characterized by its energetic, guitar-driven sound, strong emphasis on blues-infused vocal styles, and a prominent rhythm section, the genre drew from American blues legends while injecting a unique British flavor. Developing from the UK's skiffle and R&B scenes, British blues peaked in popularity during the late 1960s and early 1970s, influencing the development of hard rock and heavy metal. Culturally, it played a significant role in shaping British rock identity and paving the way for future guitar heroes. Distinguished by its blend of blues intensity and British rock's bombast, British blues set itself apart from its American counterpart through its more polished production and experimentation with blues-rock fusion. This genre's impact can be seen in the evolution of rock music, with its influence still felt today.
