Can some of you awesome players post some names of "Slow Blues Songs" ie SRV Tin Pan Alley. I Guess the best way to say it, is songs that play to the Soul.

Thanks

Claptons "From the Cradle" and his live album "EC Was Here" are both lessons in playing slow blues songs...and some of the finest slow blues playing IMHO.

Red House by Jimi and also the Royal Albert Hall version of Bleeding Heart-he plays some notes in that that are so slow and mournful they'd rip your soul out.

+ 1 for "The Thrill is Gone" - BB King.

Also, "I'm Gonna Stop Drinking (Someday)" - Paice Ashton & Lord.

and you can't beat the classic "Need Your Love So Bad" - Green/Mac
