Blue Moon (Chris Isaak version)
Into the Mystic (people love this song)
Stray Cat Strut
Ain’t No Sunshine
Lonesome Town
Roy Orbison - In Dreams
lonesome hound - beat farmers (not slow, but great)

"Blues Stay away from Me"

I think Gene did a nice slow version of this song.

He did. For a slightly raunchier version, so did Johnny Burnette.

Thank you for all the great slow song suggestions.
We've been doing some You Tube listening and added a few of these to our list. Here's what we have now:

I Won't Stand in Your Way - Brian Setzer
What's the Matter Now - Commander Cody
Blue Christmas - Elvis (Temporary for the holidays)
One Night - Elvis
Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis
Blues Stay Away - Gene Vincent
Cryin' Time - Ray Charles style
Lonesome Town - Ricky Nelson
Teenage Idol - Ricky Nelson
Bring it on Home to Me - Sam Cooke
Sleepwalk - Santo & Johnny

These got us through the holiday shows very well, and a nice break in the pace to throw into the song mix.

Here's a video clip of Sleepwalk, from our New Years Eve gig:

Patsy Cline. Re-key it for male vocals. Those songs will never die, and people will never stop rubbing bellies to them.

I second that suggestion. Walking After Midnight is a lot of fun to mess with, you can swing it or slow it down to a real slow tempo
