"Heaven done called another blues stringer back home." RIP BB.

Bluesy Tuesday

Texas Flood/Stevie Ray Vaughan  (Originally written by Larry Davis. SRV struts his stuff in this one.)

Pink Cadillac/Bruce Springsteen  (This is the outtake version. I couldn't find the other one, but the minimal arrangement sounds really cool.)

Candy/Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers  (Smooth as silk.)

Bluesy Tuesday

(This marks the 200th post on my blog..:).. I sincerely hope you guys like it so far. Thanks for all the great feedback and, as always, happy listening!)

Mean Old World/T-Bone Walker  ("If the bass ain't walking, it ain't blues." - Me)

Nice Problem To Have/The Jeff Healey Band  (Insane guitar licks.)

 Jesus Just Left Chicago/ZZ Top  (So groovy they actually dance while performing it live.)

Bluesy Tuesday

Good Day For The Blues/Ruth Brown  (She was one of the hard-hitters of the rhythm and blues sound of the fifties. The song has an awesome guitar solo towards the end.)

Red House/Jimi Hendrix  (He played and sang the blues better than he played any other genre.)

Pride And Joy/Stevie Ray Vaughan  (The walking bassline)

Bluesy Tuesday

3 o'Clock Blues/B.B. King  (His very first release. The video is of a much later performance, of course.)

Travelling Riverside Blues/Led Zeppelin  (Page's riffage is awesome.)

Inner City Blues/Marvin Gaye  (The slickest voice among the motown bunch)

Bluesy Tuesday

Long Train Running/Doobie Brothers  (Gotta love the 'loooooooooove' in the 9th bar.)

Should I Stay Or Should I Go/The Clash  (Brits nailing the 12-bar blues. Priceless.)

Some Day The Sun Won't Shine For You/Jethro Tull  (The vocals hit the spot, blueswise.)

Bluesy Tuesday

Good Golly Miss Molly/Little Richard  (One of my first guitar tunes. Also my favourite song for some good old jammin')

Kansas City/Beatles  (One of the most frequently covered blues songs)

Bluesy Tuesday

Whipping Post/Allman Brothers Band  (Scorcher of a chorus. Great bass playing too.)

Midnight Blues/Gary Moore  (Smooth stuff.)

Bluesy Tuesday

I Am/Soulmate  (The lady packs quite a punch, she does.)

Blue Jeans Blues/ZZ Top  (Low and slow.)

The Thrill Is Gone/BB King  (The strings arrangement!)

Bluesy Tuesday

Backlash Blues/Nina Simone  (The real deal)

Give Me One Reason/Tracy Chapman  (Funk-edged blues. Trippy stuff)

Money/Pink Floyd  (They weren't a blues band, but the part from 3:05 to 5:05 is about as badass as you can get with the 12-bar pattern)
