Hello.

I don't know why ...
But lately I've had a hankering for songs that feature gritty almost-bluesy souding guitar riffs ...

A couple of tunes pop into mind immediately ...

Chris Isaak - "Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing" - CD: Eyes Wide Shut OST
Tommy James and the Shondells - "Draggin' The Line"

Then there's some song by ZZ Top (I believe) that I hear now and then on classic rock radio stations that would fit the bill ... but I don't know the name ...

Sort of in the vein of what I'm after ...
Sugarloaf - "Green-Eyed Lady"
Heart - "Barracuda"; "Magic Man"

What other songs could you good folks of AdTunes suggest for me to satisfy my gritty guitar craving? :P

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! B)

ya just click on the artists name to the left, then click on the picture of the album(s) and a page comes up where you right click on specific song titles and save target as. have fun! ;)
