gimme some examples of bands who traffic in art-rock or prog-rock or folk-rock, or even bands who don't usually play rock, letting loose for a straightforward bluesy romp.
stuff like:Roxy Music - "If It Takes All Night"Joni Mitchell - "Raised On Robbery"
there have got to be a few more, right?

Japanese Hip Hop group Rip Slyme recorded a straight forward cover of Muddy Waters' Mannish Boy on their album Tokyo Classic.

Yeah, I suspect a lot of these will be covers. The Fall did a few, obviously Mr. Pharmacist and Rolling Dany, which I love.

the Dan has a few of these, enough that they prob don't quite qualify for this thread: "Daddy Don't Live In That New York City No More," "Black Friday," "Bodhisattva," "Chain Lightning"

Scott Walker's cover of "Blanket Roll Blues" is less weird than anything he did in the fifteen years prior.

can we have a thread for all the threads that are like "Songs where the first 16 syllables are an anagram for a song title on at least one LP produced by a woman who remains nameless but still makes a sexy record" ?
because i like those threads a lot but then i forget what they're called all the time

Blues based rock is mostly fucking terrible, isn't it? And I say that as a Canned Heat fan.
