Boogie Rock
|
|
Boogie Rock came out of the hard heavy blues rock of the late '60s. It tends to feature a repetitive driving rhythm in place of instrumental experimentation found in the more progressive blues rock bands of the period. Boogie rockers concentrate on the groove, working a steady, chugging backbeat, often in shuffle time. The main distinction between bands is their instrumental attack. Many US boogie rock bands have a 'Southern' twang, like ZZ Top and Lynard Skynard. British bands like Status Quo and Foghat tend to have a distinctive, heavier sound. Boogie Rock reached the hight of its popularity in the mid to late 1970's, though bands such as Back Street Girls, Predatur and Hercules carry on in a style reminiscent of Status Quo. |
