Song suggestions for trio of vocals, guitar and bass

[mikegatward]

Just about to start a side venture of a laid back covers trio and would welcome song suggestions

 

So far we are trying:

 

Tracy Chapman - Baby Can I Hold You

Chris Stapleton - Tenessee Whisky

Chris Isaak - Wicked Game

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes

Amy McDonald - This is the Life

Foster the People - Pumped up Kicks

 

Singer might add a bit of percussion but there'll be no drums. We're looking for a Sunday afternoon vibe rather than a smash it up Saturday night.

 

Thanks in advance.

You didn't say if your singer is male or female, or if your guitarist is rhythm or lead or both. These are maybe less well known and probably work best for female leads.

Thanks for these. The singer is female and was in my main band for 11 years. Her voice is less suited to female sung numbers but we just down tubed where we had to. Guitar player is the drummer in said band but he’s decent on guitar and proficient on banjo !
