Unsung bass albums

[Grassie]

Those albums with great bass performances that have gone un-noticed…

”God Shuffled His Feet” by Crash Test Dummies.

Yes, maybe you can’t stand “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”, but Dan Roberts playing on this is album sublime - mostly fretless from what I can hear, high in the mix, and very tasteful indeed. Give it a listen.

Carry on…. 😎

New Model Army - Thunder and Consolation. The band was a trio at the time (with a violin player coming in on a few of the album tracks) but the interplay between bass and drums is exceptional. 
 

Sounds like a P bass with a pick cranked up loud, locked in with a really “busy but good” drummer. 

Try “Family” and “The Ballad of Bodmin Pill” for starters.

 

Inspirational stuff.

Any by The Jam, Bruce Foxtons bass playing is both melodic and high in the mix.
