jonunders Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hi all, I'm looking for a good, lively, known, blues bassed song to play live at our next gig. Any suggestions? We are a six piece band with bass, guitar, drums, keyboard and 1 male, 1 female singer. Thanks in anticipation of your ideas.

carldogs Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 How about Cold day in hell Gary Moore, I,m thinking size of yr band, key board could try brass parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerryc Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) How about "Come Home" by Back Door Slam. Not very well known but well worth checking out. Edited August 5, 2012 by gerryc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray5 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 From one of the greatest Blues albums of all time.... [b]Born Under A Bad Sign (feat.

Looper Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Anything by Willie Dixon. Well known and you'd find any number of versions to listen to. I ain't superstitious. Little red rooster. Spoonful. Back door man. The list goes on, covers by a lot of well known sixties bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsebass Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Theres always Parissiene Walkways by Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy - keyboard player can do the rhythm guitar parts (which is kind of synthyish anyway) and there is harmonies and chance to split the lead vocal.

ezbass Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Sneakin' Sally is a great call! How about a little jazz tinged blues from Robben Ford, Help The Poor. Nice bass line too from the great Roscoe Beck (yeah I'm a fanboy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvqYd90FuBU&feature=youtube_gdata_player Edited August 6, 2012 by ezbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
