The band leader wants to add an SRV slow blues tune.
Which of the three would you pick? They're all essentially the same song.
Vote for one, and throw in your own suggestions. I also suggested Riviera Paradise.

|  | Yeah, I've got the moves like Jagger. | | Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: G.R. MI | | Tin Pan Alley is a great choice. I think I saw SRV something like 8 or 9 times I get all misty whenever I hear Riviera Paradise. That's gotta be my favorite SRV tune. Stevie Ray Vaughan - Riviera Paradise - YouTube

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: North Port Fl. | | | The "Sky is Cryin" is pretty much Albert King who mentored Stevie. Its nice to cover songs by the newer generation when you can also go back and listen to the Masters of the Blues too. Its like covering a Clapton version of Tore Down, you can go right back to Freddy King and listen to the mentor of Clapton, not only playing but his singing style was also copied.
Heres a suggestion for a slow Blues tune that has a traditional stop n go in it too. "Drowin on Dry Land"=Albert King. I covered this tune for 35 years and totally enjoy it on any instrument. The guitar pulls are traditional Albert styling and the bass has one of the most traditional grooves in blues music. Key of G is a great key to sing in and everyone is happy in G for simple 1/4/5s. Give a listen I think you'll agree that it has more to offer than the tunes on your list. Remember if your covering SRV hes covering Albert King hahahaha!! Doc |
