MCS Blues

I\’m entering my band in a Blues competition and was wondering what kind of blues you guys and dolls listen to or think would kick ass to hear in concert.

I wanna win and hope you can help your MCS bro out with some suggestions!

    Blind Willie McTell

    I second that, Paul knows what he’s talking about.

    Also, good luck.

    I’m a fan of the Bob Dylan/Johnny Cash sessions from 1969 myself.

    jimmieq

    Something from Black Snake Moan. But I, unlike wookie, have no idea what’s any good.

    copypaiste

    Deep Purple are the best bloody blues funking geezers.

    deuce

    Old Fleetwood Mac maybe?

    BTW you’re cute.

    B. B. King

    The Matrix: Rebooted

    Blueshammer!

    pauld

    reboot wins this thread.

    absolutely Stevie Ray Vaughn… I would go with Texas Flood for obvious reasons, but for a more ambiguous reason, it was the first song I heard when my grandma died. Talk about a flood of emotions.

    also, this song is hard as shit to play. (unless you really are a badass)

    Entering your band in a “blues competition” is automatic FAIL.

    You might as well kick Robert Johnson in the taint.

    i always like the bands that take some unexpected song. that’s not necessarily blues.
    i.e. depeche mode personal jesus.
    turn something well known like that and turn it into a good blues song.

    Billy Manic

    Just bring one guitar and a lot of pain.

    efraiel

    ted wtf are you doin!

    BowToMe

    John Lee Hooker, Blues Traveler if you got the wind pipes, and some good ol’ Muddy Waters.

    Fellow bluesman here.

    If you want something that kicks ass and would get you a decent spot in a competition, try some fast SRV numbers, eg. Rude Mood or maybe Texas Flood. Check Kenny Wayne Shepherd out too, I’d say Electric Lullaby would be great for a comp.
    Maybe some Joe Bonamassa, if you prefer something more modern?

    Also, I’d say throw in an original song or two in there. It’s rather easy to come up with a blues song/instrumental. That is, if you actually feel the music you play. Remember: it’s all about feeling, technique and “originality” isnt as important. That’s what makes blues unique. You can repeat the same riff over and over and make it sound different each time around.
    (Take a good look at B.B King if you dont know what i’m talking about. Stylish repetition is the term, I believe)

    an irish man, singing the blues, about too much alcohol:

    TheLotusEater725

    That is a beautiful quilt top you have on that guitar. What is that you are shredding on?

    jaundicedi

    Early Fleetwood Mac from the Peter Green era, Elmore James, Howlin’ Wolf, Savoy Brown. Don’t try to crowd in a lot of notes. Just put a lot of feeling in the ones you do play and you’ll be fine.

    Welcome to the family.

    Putridity

    I see you rockin that powah chord thar!

    Some of the best blues of my personal taste is VERY early rolling stones and the doors.

    I know. Probably not what you were getting at but People Are Strange NEVER fails to go down well.

    Awesome1

    Look into John Hammond. You look like you know nothing of the blues, whether it be the pain or the history, and if you come here looking for inspiration, you are probably beyond help. John Hammond may be your last hope, as he started off a white outsider too.

    garbledxmission

    Muddy Waters.
    Nina Simone.
    Cab Calloway.
    With the exception of Paul and a couple others, shame on most of you.
    Fleetwood Mac. Blues Traveller. Rolling Stones. The Doors. Fuck. Why don’t you just throw Megadeth and NKOTB in while you’re at it?

    WistfulD

    : Fleetwood Mac meets your lamelist? You must have seriously missed the awesomeness that is Then Play On.

    garbledxmission

    BTW, good luck, Skeeter. Hope you do well.

    Vent

    Please just never do a cover of Mustang Sally and you will be ok in my book.

    hvymetal86

    Don’t have any suggestions cause I don’t listen to blues, but good luck man!

    interpol

    I can tell based on this picture alone that your band will WIN THE COMPETITION.

    Also I support old roommates unconditionally.

    BurritoCzar

    Albert Collins – I Ain’t Drunk.
    Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials – Chicken, Gravy & Biscuits.
