Inside this month’s magazine
Cover feature
This month, we’re celebrating fifty years since the release of two seminal blues-rock albums (Hendrix's 'Are You Experienced?' and Cream's 'Disraeli Gears') to bring you a complete guide to the genre and its offshoots. Inside, you'll find 14 pages of blues-rock-tinged lessons, spanning the evolution of its sound over the last five decades.
