Electric blues

Electric blues is a genre of blues music characterized by the use of electric guitars, bass, and amplifiers, giving it a vibrant, amplified sound. Originating in the 1940s and 1950s, it evolved from traditional Delta blues by incorporating electric instruments and a more energetic, expressive style. It features soulful vocals, expressive guitar solos, and a rhythm that emphasizes groove and emotion. Electric blues has influenced many other genres, including rock and roll, and remains popular for its raw, powerful sound and emotional depth.
