Song List Suggestions

Sign in to disble this ad
We are forming a Texas Blues / Southern Rock and are doing mostly originals but it seems our tempo is sleep oriented. As a general rule most of the band doesn't like doing covers (mostly because we are all very early stages of our learning) so guys like Kenny Wayne, Bonamassa sound like the stuff we want to play but is a little technical for us. (though we did bang out a passable Voodoo Child the other night by accident. Wish we had recorded it)
What are some faster 12 bar blues songs in 100 -120 BPM you guys know of? Our current covers are:
Voodoo Child
Superstition (very basic version)
King's Highway
Soulshine (redone to match out talent)
Keep your Hands to Yourself ()

Thanks for the help!

A lot of ZZ Top is simple enough to pull off, and is fast blues/rock stuff.
You may want to look into a band called Budgie, who played alot of proto-metal, but had bluesy moments, such as:

For a contemporary twist on the basic sound, how about playing some Cage the Elephant? "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" would fit nicely into a set like that.

In honor of the great guitarist Gary Moore who just passed away today, here is an instrumental blues rocker he did.
