Boogie rock is a music genre which came out of the hard heavy blues rock of the late 1960s.[1] Largely designed for dance parties, it tends to feature a repetitive driving rhythm in place of instrumental experimentation found in the more progressive blues-rock bands of the period.
Definitions
Boogie rockers concentrate on the groove, working a steady, chugging back beat, often in shuffle time.[2]
History
British bands include Suzi Quatro, Status Quo,[3] Savoy Brown[4] and Foghat.[5]
