...better known material, more something that would fit with the style of the band or that we can change up to suit...

I think that's the key here. Personally I would just start with something catchy and well known and give it a funky/blues arrangement.

I've always wanted to play I Can't Go For That by Hall & Oates and Never Too Much by Luther Vandross. Both are already funky and would sound cool with some blues flavour!

Anyhoo. I have no idea what I'm talking about

Hi Paul.
You're bang on the money there buddy. I'm looking for ideas for better known songs to cover, we have sufficient material to cover the Blues side of things.
Love the Darryl's House version of that song Bud, it's epic !!
I very much appreciate all the links and suggestions folks so many thanks.

Always thought this was a good funk/rock/bluesy hybrid... Not sure who's going to be Adrian Belew, mind.
