peteb Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1478291040' post='3168289'] I had no idea i would get so many suggestions guys. Its gonna take me a while to get thru listening to them all. Some i've had a quick listen to and think maybe a little too extreme one way or another but majority are spot on and i'm really getting into a style of music i've never really given much thought to. Cheers guys and all very much appreciated the effort some have put in to their reply by adding youtube links. Basschat is def a great place to be when you need help.

el borracho Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 [quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1478266002' post='3168019'] Its a shame the british blues fraternity has not moved on, i get what you are saying, i was in a 12 piece blues band doing bang upto date stuff from mainly the usa and when we played fests yes alot of people would say what a blast of fresh air, but you would get the pipe smokin crowd saying thats not blues.... christ, move on, all that was done 40/50 years ago and its getting a bit yawney now. dont get me wrong i love blues, but if i go in a pub and hear another version of red house al scream [/quote] I saw a guy from work once while heading out of a Buddy Guy gig. I asked what he thought to which he replied "The playing was OK but there's no place for humour in blues." That was why I'd enjoyed it!

dmccombe7 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Dr John ...... a classic. That will be a def i think. Chris Duarte is pretty good. not heard of him before. Albert Collins seems to be a popular choice too. Will sit down and make a list from all the suggestions and go thru them. I honestly can't believe the number of suggestions i've had and the interest in this style of music is quite refreshing and good to know people out there want to hear bands do it. The replies are coming in faster than i can listen to them all Thanks again everyone Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funk-blues is really a title to capture a couple of styles rather than a particular one off style. The funk for me is the Robert Cray style or the Doobies Long Train Runnin where the bass (for me) has a nice groove feel to it. The Bonnie Rait material i have heard is more country feel to me altho i have heard some songs from her that had that funky groove type bass. I'm not sure its everyone's interpretation of funk blues and that could be another topic for discussion and could or would make an interesting topic i think. Its a kinda hard thing to describe the difference as many styles or bands seem to cross over between all of them at times depending on thge song they are playing.

xgsjx Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 As good as some of those songs are, there's some that don't even get remotely funky, let alone have an actual funk style bassline. Nothing wrong with a good blues bassline though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
