That's a really good groove - reminds me of this one by The Bamboos with the fabulous Alice Russell on guest vocals

BTW, love that Dr John album BB5, - imagine having The Meters as a backing band!!
If you want to impress the Mrs with a joke which never wears thin, pretend to fart with every trombone slide on "Such a Night"

Yep - Laura Vane's a fine funk-soul-blues singer. The Vipertones are mainly dutch, I think. I played for a short while with a fledgling funk band that wanted to play Steam. I couldn't find chords or tabs online so I had to come up with something myself. It was my first ever attempt at writing a bassline tab from scratch. Playing it now, my effort doesn't accurately reflect the original, but it does fit the groove. Sort of.

and soul-blues (be aware - long guitar solo...): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=805vcPvFw4o


Edited to seperate the Laura Vane stuff from Bamboos.

[color=#282828]@RolandRock. I can definitely hear the similarities between Steam and the Bamboos' Step it up. The Bamboos are another contemporary soul-funk band that I really like. The band's line-up seems a bit, errr, fluid, with quite a few different lead singers. Alice Russel, to me, is the stand-out best. Here's my favourite track with her:[/color]
