TrevorR Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 For that rock/blues thing also definintely check out some of Gary Moore's blues albums.. Still Got the Blues, After Hours and his "Scars" band album spring most readily to mind. You might also check out BBM (Bruce, Baker, Moore) for some Cream-alike renderings...

Mykesbass Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1456315814' post='2987677'] Heavy blues = Zeppelin, surely? [/quote] I think Robert Plant must have left his echo box on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Check out Firebird, Bill Steer of Carcass and Napalm Death fame playing blues rock, the Grand Union record is a belter, Blue Flame the first track off it is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzneck Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Dropzone' timestamp='1456307298' post='2987530'] I may be getting involved with a heavy blues project. Predominantly covers to start. This is not my area of expertise and I was wondering if you had any blues numbers in your set that set the world on fire or if they are any numbers that need to be avoided or any advice in general. Many thanks in advance. Mike [/quote] Explain yourself, boy! What is meant by heavy blues? Firstly, I suggest you keep all your numbers to under 4 minutes and keep your guitarist on a very short lead. Your average punter and particularly ladies get pretty pi$$ed off with widdly merchants going on and on (bit like I do when I post on here). The big boys of this so called blues world - SRV, EC, Bonapratta, Gary Bore, Walter Trout and the like - got / get away with it coz they've a name and can / could fill big venues. The rest of us haven't and can't. So be very careful with your choice of set if you intend playing in public and want to make some money. Just saying, having played in blooze bands for far too long.

tony_m Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 How about some Gary Clark Jr.? [media]http://youtu.be/CFjMeOnqAPI[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/OFIWstcaoLc[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftybassman392 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Surprised nobody's mentioned Hendrix yet (as such, for the benefit of the anal retentives ). Or AC/DC. Or Jeff Healey. And while I'm here, I can't help thinking Robben Ford is a bit of an ask at this level. Anybody mentioned Kenny Wayne Shepherd?

Paul S Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) For fear of being stoned by serious musos, how about early Status Quo? Albums like 'Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon', 'Dog of Two Head' and 'Piledriver' have got some great blues rock originals and covers in them. But there are always so many. Blind Faith, Doors, CCR, Cactus and all the subsequent derivatives. Edit - ZZ Top? Edited February 24, 2016 by Paul S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 How about 'Drinkin' My Blues' by the excellent Lance Lopez (former Buddy Myles protégé) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8G9vijt_do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottastopbuyinggear Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Mississippi Queen, by Mountain. Been down so long, by The Doors. Born under a bad sign, loads of different versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Mmmm Jeff Healey, his cover of 'while my guitar gently weeps'.....awesome! Not Joe Bonamassa, too clinical, no feel to it IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 +1 for Walter Trout, Rory Gallagher , SRV, Mountain, Johnny Wynter and John Mayall etc and some of this.. Stan Webb (Chicken Shack) Poor boy. We used to do this years ago and the intro is an attention grabber if it's tight and loud. The crowd would go from background conversation buzz to [size=5]WTF[/size] in 10 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U58JZ05qlGk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japhet Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Could check out some lesser known stuff too. Try The Buddaheads (some great stuff) and The Boneshakers who play blues with a touch of funk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
