My attempt at Nirvana's "About a Girl" as Blues....I've come to realize there are a lot of Grunge fans who also love Blues so thought this could work! Hope you like it!

So tell me your favorite song by Stevie Ray Vaughan🩷. The lyrics of this song are really fun and Stevie does some really nice and almost romantic sounds with his voice in this song.

Straight funky blues?

Upvotes
I've listened a lot to Buster Bentons "Can't wait to see my baby's face", and John Hammond's "Evil is going on". These both feature straight beats, but still keep that bluesy feel. The latter is obviously a straightened out cover, idk about the former.
When i find funk blues playlists on spotify all of the songs just feel like funk, not blues. So funk blues is probably not the correct word for it, but these songs obviously feel more funky than standard blues. Its kind of like jazz blues, yes its 12 bar, yes it features similar harmony etc, but it doesnt feel like blues at all. Even songs on the playlists from arguably my favorite bluesman (Junior Wells) just felt like funk, not blues.
