I'm looking for some songs that are blues/r&b with lots of bass in them?

Answer 1

Folks to check out are:

Willie Dixon
Bob Stroger
Johnny B. Gayden
Donald "Duck" Dunn

These folks are some primary forces in blues/soul/R&B. Just about anything you touch in this realm has either been done or came from these guys. Now, there are lots in between, don't get me wrong, but these guys are pretty close to being "it" if you know what I mean for blues/soul/R&B bass players.

Dunn played on just about everything at Stax/Volt not including the stuff he did later while in the Blues Brothers.

Stroger, Gayden are staples of the southside Chicago and the Texas blues sounds. Stroger, at well over 70 is still one of the best in-the-pocket players of all time. As for Gayden, he's just a badass. Check out all the work he did on the early days of Alligator with the likes of Albert Collins and Koko Taylor.

And Dixon a.k.a the poet of pretty much all the blues that came out of Chess in the late and mid 50s on into the early part of the 60s. Dixon played with Muddy, the Wolf, Little Walter, and many more. Plus, he played a mean stand-up.

Some more folks worthy of being checked out is Oteil Burbridge, Wooten (he's already been mentioned) in the fusion/jazz/blues scene, Bill Wyman of the early Stones, the early Allman Brothers (especially Whipping Post for bass), and Jack Bruce of Cream.

Answer 3

Blues and R&B bass? Smells like funk ta me. YeaH! Of course go to the Godfather: JB himself. Mr. James Brown, who came out of all that. Pick your favorite song as he and the band have lots of bassy instrumentals. And then many other Funk Groups like The Meters, Ohio Players, New Birth, Kool and The Gang (the stuff when they started NOT the later Pop stuff).

Answer 4

Are you looking to make your subs sound good, or from an actual bass player's talent?

As for the talent side, Shaky Ground has some good bass work in it.

For subs, try deja voodoo by Kenny Wayne Shepherd, it has some really deep bass in it. It'll shake the neighborhood if your system is set good enough.

Answer 5

Motown music was blessed with a very influencial bass player, Jame Jameson. His bass lines are overlooked by many. Give this valuable source a listen.

Answer 6

The original Blues Brothers sound track is classic R&B. The movie was tremendous but the CD allows me to listen to the music over and over--I am a drummer who practices frequently to this CD

Answer 7

Eric Clapton's "Edge Of Darkness" is the best. It's on his "24 Nights" CD. The bass in it really stirs me!

Answer 8

Taste a wide sample of Ike Turner and you are certain to find some stuff that suits you.

Answer 9
