Members New Trail Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 The guys I play with aren't used to playing slow songs, at all! We're getting ready to play a local country club and I know that we need several slow songs. What are some good ones that are maybe NOT so overplayed, in other words NOT "Ain't No Sunshine" or "Knocking on Heaven's Door" or "Wonderful Tonite!" What are some newer cooler slow dance songs? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're looking for new stuff this one has been really big all year, and could end up being the top male ballad for 2012: It also happens to be really good.

"Suspicious Minds" is a song written by American songwriter Mark James. After James' recording failed commercially, the song was handed to Elvis Presley by producer Chips Moman, becoming a number one song in 1969, and one of the most notable hits of Presley's career. "Suspicious Minds" was widely regarded as the single that returned Presley's career success, following '68 Comeback Special. It was his seventeenth and last number-one single in the United States. Rolling Stone later ranked it #91 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nchangin Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 ooops. Sorry about the incorrect source of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 About the only slow song we play is Motley Crue's Home Sweet Home. That usually works. I wouldn't call Suspicious Minds a slow song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members n9ne Posted November 26, 2012 Members Share Posted November 26, 2012 If you're looking for recognizable "newer" material, you could always draw on what I think of as the Grey's Anatomy soundtrack......stuff like Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars, Anna Nalick - Breathe, The Fray - How To Save A Life. Stuff like that. I don't know if I'd exactly call it "slow songs"....but they're laid back, and very much appeal to the ladies. I think they'd work.

I'd still stick to the ole classics you said in your original post Yeah, the old classics would definitely work. What you have at a country club gig is a wide age group of people who obviously golf but don't dance much. Songs with beats that even an amateur can feel would work best.

Members wesg Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 At first I thought you were going to play at a Country club, I couldn't figure out what the heck all these posts were about, but was going to suggest, "Crazy" as sung by Patsy Cline... an oldie but a goodie! Now that I see you are playing a country club, ah, hell, if it's full of old people you can STILL play "Crazy", LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
