G'day David, i'm looking for jam tracks suitable for All Night Long (Rock Me), Early in the Morning (as per jr wells hoodoo man blues album) and Wish You Would, such as Billy Boy Arnold played on his Back Where I Belong album.

Have you put out a set which would cover all these?

Thanks,
Dave

I have 262 jam tracks and none of them match these songs. "Early in the Morning" is essentially a slow blues, so you can make that work, but the other two are very specific and don't think you'll find them. You may have to do what I and other students have done in the past, pay a band to record it.

Sure. The best set out right now that covers a wide variety of grooves is Jimi Lee's GrroveTrax: Every Groove A Bluesman Needs to Know http://www.harmonicamasterclass.com/groove_trax.htm

It just occurred to me that you may want to contact Shoji Naito (shoblues@hotmail.com), he has made tons of custom tracks.

I Wish You Would

You could always just record the first four bars before Billy Boy starts to play, and then loop them. (But the bass would be missing, I think).
