History

American Traditional Rock emerged as a distinct genre in the late 1960s and early 1970s, evolving from the roots of rock and roll, blues, and country music. It was a response to the more experimental and psychedelic rock of the time, focusing instead on a return to the basics of rock music. Artists in this genre often drew inspiration from the rich tapestry of American musical traditions, creating a sound that was both nostalgic and fresh.
