Song Suggestions

[jonunders]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a good, lively, known, blues bassed song to play live at our next gig. Any suggestions?
We are a six piece band with bass, guitar, drums, keyboard and 1 male, 1 female singer.

Thanks in anticipation of your ideas.

How about Cold day in hell Gary Moore, I,m thinking size of yr band, key board could try brass parts.

How about "Come Home" by Back Door Slam. Not very well known but well worth checking out.

Anything by Willie Dixon. Well known and you'd find any number of versions to listen to.
I ain't superstitious.
Little red rooster.
Spoonful.
Back door man.
The list goes on, covers by a lot of well known sixties bands.

Let us know who wins the compettion !!

Theres always Parissiene Walkways by Gary Moore/Thin Lizzy - keyboard player can do the rhythm guitar parts (which is kind of synthyish anyway) and there is harmonies and chance to split the lead vocal.

[ezbass]

Sneakin' Sally is a great call!

How about a little jazz tinged blues from Robben Ford, Help The Poor. Nice bass line too from the great Roscoe Beck (yeah I'm a fanboy)
