British Blues is a style of blues music that originated in the United Kingdom in the 1960s. It is characterized by a combination of traditional blues styles with elements of British rock and roll, folk, and jazz. British Blues is often seen as a precursor to the British Invasion of the 1960s, as it helped to popularize blues music in the UK. British Blues musicians often used electric guitars, drums, and bass, as well as traditional blues instruments such as the harmonica and slide guitar. British Blues is known for its heavy, driving rhythms and often features extended guitar solos. Notable British Blues musicians include Eric Clapton, John Mayall, and Alexis Korner.
