Give me your favorite down and dirty Blues/Rock song

Rainbow. Who can forget Ritchie Blackmore ?



and this is really gritty and slow. Robin Trower.

Not sure blues rock gets any better than this.

This is my fave karaoke song to sing..... But I have a better blues voice than Taylor. I sang this to my husband at a bar on our first anniversary... been doing it once a year for 20 years now.. LOL!!



Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
Well, I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, I'm a demolition derby (yeah)
A hefty hunk of steaming junk
Now, I'm a napalm bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Oh, guaranteed, just guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own (now)
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby
Got a bad case of steamroller blues

I'd say for down and dirty low and slow, "Cold Shot" by SRV.

Hows abouts some Jimi - Red House


But my god, Roy Buchanan smacked it out on this track. The pain in the tone of his guitar was just something else! Shame he is relatively unheard of. This track is a bit quiet the first 1:45, but then it punches you in the pancreas and walks away with your wife and kids! *trust me, crank this track*

Not quite what you're looking for, but thought I'd share anyways. Definitely one of my favorite blues tunes.

Not sure if posted already, but, OP check out

Left Lane Cruiser

Cashman

Scott H. Biram

Gary Clark Jr.

You must have been reading my mind, or the universe has a central message or need to connect in music.

I was thinking just yesterday about starting a thread of what songs to collect for a overall general classic collection. Every one of these are jewels.

If some one would be so kind to link in a classic go to song is John Cougar Mellencamp's "Authority Song".

A little more ZZ....



Sure got cold after the rain fell -- I love this one..



...just cause I'm in the mood...

Y'all heard of David Wilcox? Canadian Icon. And he's still doin' it! Old fave--

Robin Trower, amazing! That guitar sounds dirty alright...

Amanaz - History of Man (1975)



Raga Rockers - Trist at det skulle ende slik (1983)



Thåström - Blå Himlen Blues

Loved al three. This is becoming quite a list guys, thanks. I only recently got more into Blues, as what most people call rock nowadays was making me nauseous. Taking it back to the roots! Or maybe I'm getting older

Someone wanted a Montrose song posted, here you are...


I love the scene in Jay and Silent Bob when this song was played. Sammy Hagar played with Montrose didn't he?

reply to post by athousandlives


Thanks

Check this one out. Clapton, Knopfler and ..is that Phil Collins and Bernie Taupin too??

Anyway - its the same old blues..

Amanaz, loved the tribal feel to it. Gonna check out the album!
And that last one... Man was that guy completely 'out there'
great tune!

His style is a bit more country rock than blues rock, but he definitely restores my faith in emerging artists.



Now for modern blues rock, Black Keys all damn day...
