根源摇滚Roots Rock

根源摇滚产生于80年代中期,这种音乐所包含的意义就是:回归摇滚最初的形式和精神,也就是5,60年代的摇滚乐。

在80年代中期,当金属乐日渐堕落,一些乐手,开始反思什么是真正的音乐,在回顾摇滚乐发展的过程中,人们渐渐认定最伟大的音乐是出现在5,60年代,一个充满鲜花,和平,阳光,自然和爱的时代。但这种音乐的本质只是崇尚对传统摇滚的回归,而并没有试图去寻找更新的音乐元素,所以在90年代中期以后,几乎再也没有此风格的乐队出现,这种类型的音乐也渐归于沉寂。

Roots rock is rock music that looks back to rock's origins in folk, blues and country music. It is particularly associated with the creation of hybrid sub-genres from the later 1960s including country rock and Southern rock, which have been seen as responses to the perceived excesses of dominant psychedelic and developing progressive rock.

Because roots music (Americana) is often used to mean folk and world musical forms, roots rock is sometimes used in a broad sense to describe any rock music that incorporates elements of this music. In the 1980s roots rock enjoyed a revival in response to trends in punk rock, New Wave and heavy metal music.
