Jonesy Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 I've been going down to blues route today too, but more the old Chicago/electric blues side of things. The Son Seals Blues Band is a fantastic album. If anyone fancies a listen then this is the stand out for me.. 1 Quote

upside downer Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Try this Moroccan music led by a bass instrument called a Sintir. It's also known as a Guembri or Gimbri. Quote
Maude Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) For some reason I've ended up listening to lots of cover versions of known bands by other known bands but done in the coverees style, does that make sense? No? I thought not. 😄 Here's what I mean. Here's Black Sabbaths 'War Pigs', an absolute belter from Sabbath. Now Cake have a complete sound of their own, unmistakable, and this is their take on War Pigs. The timings seem odd at first but totally works in that 'Cake' style, and the pumping bass from the off really drives it. Here's another, Bill Haleys 'Thirteen Women', a slightly risqué topic given the era. And this is The Renegades version. A superb slice of sixties garage rock. Such an enjoyable version which I feel is way ahead of its time, the sound, the hair and the video. Apparently this band were huge wherever The Beatles couldn't, wouldn't, or didn't play. This is the best version soundwise on YouTube and has a little bonus cover afterwards in the form of Vince Taylors 'Brand New Cadillac', so guess where we go next? Vince Taylor and his Playboys, Thirteen Women Which we all know was covered in grand style by the The Clash on their London Calling album. Quite similar in style but unmistakably The Clash, although I've never really felt it fitted on the LC album, but I digress. Enjoy Edited March 28, 2020 by Maude 1 Quote

Great choice, Gabe Nelson is one of my favourite bass players and Cake are a superb band ... 1 Quote

Mix of Enrique Morente's traditional Flamenco with the lyrics of Leonard Cohen and Spanish Poet Federico Lorca, plus a rock band Lagartija Nick thrown in for good measure. Very weird, but I've loved this album for a long time. 1 Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 How's about a foray into funky German jazz-rock fusion? 1 Quote

fretmeister Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Me and my kids have a practice playlist of about 24 tunes that we are adding to. they play sax and clarinet. We play it on a big screen and can then read the notation. It’s big band arrangements of various tunes. Help yourself if you like! Quote
