What songs have you learned recently?

What songs have you learned recently? Cover songs, original songs, theater, orchestral, whatever. It is always interesting to see what other bass players are learning.

I always enjoy learning songs and fine tuning them into our show and see how the audience responds to them. I play in 3 piece party rock cover band and we all are lead singers and we play a huge mixture of tunes from 6 decades and we are always looking at songs that will work well for us. Recently, we decided to add a few songs with a country rock flavor to widen our setlist and they all went over great already.

Here is what we just added.

Take It Easy - Eagles
Life Is A Highway - Tom Cochrane (we do his version and the bass parts are busier) Rascal Flatts covered it recently too
Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy - Big & Rich
Fast As You - Dwight Yoakam
