There's 'Twist Beat' for a lil bit of Elvis mixed with Freddie King. 'Diddley Shake' has a very Bo Diddley, rhythmic feel. For an Albert Collins type groove check out 'Chillin'. For a Texas blues, Jimmie Vaughan/Jimmy Reed track, check out 'JR Time'.

If you're looking for a good track with some funk to play slide along to there's 'Tramp Groove' in the Lowell Fulsom vein. Also, check out our FAQ section for any questions you may have about BOTB.. everything you need to know is contained within the pages of this site.
