"Dark" blues tunes
« on: March 28, 2013, 11:26:27 AM »
Weenies:
I've got a gig coming up for a show that has a slightly macabre theme. I'm trying to come up with some good tunes that have kind of a "dark" feeling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

you could probably distinguish between 'sonically dark' and 'lyrically dark' - Walter Davis would hit both of those. Maybe Henry Townsend, too.
