Rock ballad - type of song in rock music, which is a slow, melodic lyrical song. Ballads are not considered a separate genre in rock, as they recorded a group of almost any genre. The term "ballad" dates back to the eponymous poetic genre, but retains little connection with him. Ballade in the classical meaning close to the epic: it is a short story told in verse.

Songs that cause a lot of memories and emotions. This distribution represents eight disk other than rock ballads from distant nineties. Made-disc collections - Sweden.

They were an all-instrumental, four-piece outfit from Washington D.C. who fit in nicely with the surf music crowd, but had taken the genre to a completely different level. They made quite a splash after only a few live performances; an overabundance of critical acclaim followed.
While not exactly a 180-degree rotation from the thoroughly enjoyable funk-fest on A Street Called Straight (1976), Roy Buchanan's subsequent album, You're Not Alone (1978), is an exceedingly more polished affair with a completely new cast of studio musicians.
