"The Letter" Joe Cocker/Mad Dogs and Englishmen. That tunes rocks.

 

[Dutchboy]

Bitch by the Rolling Stones.

Watched "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones" on the weekend for the x-teenth time. Jim Price and Bobby Keys really make that song go.

5:15 by The Who.
Face the Face by Pete Townsend.

Man, I would kill to play with a horn section, because then we could cover "It's Your Thing" by the Isley Brothers, which is my all-time favorite bassline to play.

 

[HolmeBass]

Perhaps some Afrobeat? Fela, or Budos Band. Check out Budos' cover of "Daytripper" from their most recent album- sort of down-tempo and moody and mysterious, very atmospheric and cool arrangement.

From the Wayback machine:

Son's of Champlin (lots of stuff there)
Edgar Winter's White Trash - "Still Alive & Well" and "Tobacco Road"
Brecker Brothers - "Some Skunk Funk" (lots of other stuff there, too)
Dreams - "New York City" and parts of "Dream Suite"

Why has no one yet mentioned "No Reply at All" by Genesis?


Great song. Fantastic bassline. Fun horn part.

Agreed.

Also "Paperlate" - same album, I think. Great for horns.
