Buick 6 is going to be working up some new covers in the next week -what song(s) would you want them to cover? It doesn’t necessarily have to be an instrumental just something that they could do as an instrumental and would lend itself well to that type of interpretation. Of course I can’t guarantee that anything that is suggested will get done, but if somebody does come up with a winner, I will come up with some kind of prize (tickets etc). So bring on your ideas.
Cool idea – this’ll be fun.
How about some old Allman Brothers? Being a Georgia Boy, I’d love to hear that. Lends itself very well to jammin’ & would be a real crowd pleaser, IMHO.
“Don’t Want You No More” or “It’s Not My Cross To Bear” come to mind. Or, if they want to play an instrumental that was originally an instrumental, there’s always “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed”…
Tom
(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew, by Bonnie Dobson, as popularized by The Grateful Dead, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, and others.
i want to second Green Onions but you’d need a keyboardist or that wouldn’t work.
(one of my favorite music moments was hearing Booker T do that in the fillmore!!!)
or Big River, i think they could do a shredding version.
as far as instrumentals, they could try:
Peaches en Regalia (frank zappa)
Rebel Rouser (duane eddy)
Jessica (allman brothers)
Zeppelin of their choice (ok, Going to California done as an instrumental and Chet needs to learn mandolin)
that ought to keep those boys on their toes!that was fun………
lisai thought i remembered chet playing organ the first time i heard him (el rey shows) but it slipped my mind, good remembering tim!
well whatever they come up with (those were off the top of my head monday morning at 5am)
will be fine, they are all great musicians that love the music.i was too lazy to drive down to spaceland in the rain saturday night, lefty’s right tony, you’re a warrior!
How about a 30 minute version of Dark Star? Just kidding, although a Good Lovin’ > Turn On Your Lovelight >Not Fade Away medley would be a nice flashback.
Hmmm, trafficking in covers in light of a new set of guitar skills/experience (Eric Schermerhorn → Iggy Pop, David Bowie, The The). With this in mind, let’s dig a bit deeper and perhaps tap some cover energy:
1. Cracker: Euro Trash Girl
2. New Riders of the Purple Sage: Panama Red
3. Ian Dury and the Blockheads: Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick
4. The Kinks: Celluloid Heroes
5. Van Morrison: Wavelength
6. Bruce Springstein: Thunder Road
7. Grateful Dead: Shakedown Street
8. Prince: Purple Rain (done newgrass style)
9. Yes: Long Distance Runaround (done newgrass style)
10. Nick Lowe: (What’s so Funny ‘bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding
