I got this email the other day, and I thought I'd pass it along for anybody who's interested.
-----------------------------
John,
I really love the sound of your 'Preaching Gospel Blues' study. Can you give me any examples of songs in that style?
Thanks so much for doing the BYCU series. I've kicked around the guitar for years, but I never really got anywhere with it until I started with your books.
-----------------------
I love that sound as well. Some tunes/CDs I would recommend are:
Etta James CD "Deep in the Night" - especially her renditions of "Take it to the Limit" and "Piece of My Heart."
Also her version of "Ive Got Dreams to Remember" and "I've been Loving You Too Long."
Aretha Franklin's CD "Aretha's Gold" is full of tunes, especially "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)," "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man." "Dr. Feelgood" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman."
Otis Redding's "Pain in My Heart." "I've Been Loving You Too Long," and "Ive Got Dreams to Remember" - he wrote them.
Sam Cooke's "Nothing Can Change This Love," "Good Times," "Somebody Have Mercy," "Bring It On Home To Me" and "That's Where It's At" and "A Change Is Gonna Come."
There are lots more, but these should get you started.
--------------------------
If you have any questions like this, I'm happy to answer (though sometimes it takes me a while to get to it,) but it would be best to post them here on the forum so everyone can see them.
