Both??? But, but...I listed three genres, lol!!
Ha ha... Do the Allman Brothers classify as a blend of Blues/Rock/Deep South Country???

Out of the dozens of genres, let's take three...Rock, Country, and Blues......in your opinion, give the best and second best artist/band in each. I'll go first!
ROCK: Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix
COUNTRY: Hank Williams, Jr., Willie Nelson
BLUES: B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughn
Now that is a very hard assignment. Here is off the top of my head.
Blues - Allman Bros & Clapton
Country - Early Eagles & Martina McBride. This one was hard as I'm not a big CM fan. Toby Keith and Keith Urban came to mind. If you ever get a chance to see Urban live, go for it. He is a great musician
Rock - Lynard Skynard & Bad Company
Rock: Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page.
Blues: Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Guy.
Country: Flatt & Scruggs, Johnny Cash. But Keith Urban is a good one.
Both!
Blues: Stevie Ray Vaughan is forever the best. Recently I've been digging Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa. Each on their own are good, but together they're outstanding.
Rock: I like it rootsy. Bob Seger, Skynyrd, Allman Bros., Outlaws, the Black Crowes.
Country: George Strait is probably the greatest. But I like it to rock a little bit. Hank Jr. is more my style. Chris LeDoux is also a favorite.
There's one singer who blends all of these genres, and soul music too: Samantha Fish. Every album she makes is a different type of music from the last. If you're into any of these three genres, you'll find something to like in her catalog.
I wanted to include Roy Clark, perhaps the greatest guitarist ever, but I couldn't figure out how to classify him because he plays EVERYTHING!!
The time Roy played Malaguena, I think it was on the Odd Couple TV show - that might be the best guitar performance I've ever seen...
