Topic: "Dark" blues tunes

[ozrkreb]

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.

Blind Boy Fuller's Weeping Willow comes to mind..  Last Kind Words - Geechie Wiley..  In The Mornin' - Johnson, Nelson and Porkchop

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