Karaoke Forums

I was recently channel surfing and landed on a blues station. I was really digging some of the more up beat tracks. I have performed some Stevie Ray Vaughn tracks in the past, but have never branched out.

Looking for some suggested tracks from various artists to try out.

Whipping Post - Allman Brothers
Statesboro Blues - Allman Brothers
Ballad of Curtis Lowe - Lynyrd Skynrd

How about T Bone Walker's - Call it stormy Monday
One of my fav's

For upbeat blues songs...Forgot about Crossroads Cream or Skynyrd (don't think the LS version is available though)

Chris, you might want to check out the "Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox" videos on You Tube. They take current songs and put a Blues, Jazz or Oldies spin on them that give them a really great sound. Plus Karaoke Version has come out with a number of them and keep adding more. Even though I haven't had anyone sing one yet I grab them as they are released if for no other reason than they're good and "I" want them and one of these days I'll get to where I can do one in public.

I am a big fan of Post Modern Jukebox. I didn't realize they were being made as karaoke tracks! I will definitely look those up.

And that you all very much for the suggestions!

The James Taylor version of Steamroller Blues is available in karaoke, and is an excellent tune!

Are these the kind of karaoke tracks anyone can purchase, or just KJs?

Postmodern Jukebox karaoke would turn me into one of those guys who brings his CDGs along with him. They are playing in my hometown next month and I'm considering taking time off to travel across state and see them.

Anyone. karaoke version has a lot of them. Downloads so no disc to carry around.
I've never heard of Postmodern Jukebox. I like alternative styles like that. Richard Cheese, Hayseed Dixie are others.

I am the ONLY SANE 1 HERE

Gary Moore : Cold day in hell
Blues Brothers : Sweet home Chicago
Tyrone Davis / Big Twist : Turn back the hands of time
Johnny Guitar Watson : Ain't that a (@$%&#!)
Buddy Miles & Steve Lukather : Purple haze

Sweet Georgia Brown has excellent versions of the above, believe me.

Also consider...

Albert King : Born under a bad sign
Joe Cocker : You can leave your hat on
Wilson Pickett : Fire and water
Ray Charles : What'd I say
Elvis Presley : Power of my love
B.B. King : The thrill is gone
Soul man [I prefer the Vigon Bamy Jay version Karaoke-Version put out]
Johnnie Taylor : Cheaper to keep Her
Little Milton : Grits ain't groceries
Wilson Pickett : 634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)
J.J. Cale : Call me the breeze [again Karaoke-Version is your best bet, and they've also released the Eric Clapton version, I recommend both]
Elvis Presley : If you don't come back
James Arthur : You're nobody until somebody loves you

I know I know... the last one is more of a pop song, but it definitely has a hint of blues to it, especially at the start. Moreover it is a great song (a grower I would say), and gets a positive reception at the karaoke I regularly attend.

Pioneer has a great rendition of the jazz standard Mood Indigo

Ain't No Sunshine, Bill Withers

Lovesick Blues, Hank Williams

19 of them now! I was around the 10,000 sub for them. I didn't know about the PMJ karaoke ether.
