Times when rock bands did country blues songs or country blues-inspired songs
The Rolling Stones - Sweet Virginia (1972) - Sweet Virginia is from The Rolling Stones' 1972 studio album Exile on Main St. The song is entirely acoustic and lacks electric guitars and features a harmonica solo by lead vocalist Mick Jagger in the song's intro, a saxophone solo by Bobby Keys and a female backing vocal chorus. The song is one of their slower blues-inspired country songs.
AC/DC - Night Prowler (1979) - Night Prowler is from AC/DC's 1979's studio album Highway to Hell. The song is one of their more slower blues-influenced songs. It is one of their more darker songs, lyrically. The song is the closing track from their studio album Highwway to Hell, the band's final studio album with lead vocalist Bon Scott, marking a swan song with the lead vocalist before his death. While this song is tehnically not country blues, it is slower than AC/DC's usual hard rock style.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Ballad of Curtis Loew (1974) - The Ballad of Curtis Loew is from Lynyrd Skynyrd's 1974 studio album Second Helping. The song is one of their more slower blues-influenced country songs. The song tells the story of an elderly blues musician who died way before his time. The song features excessive use of slide guitar.
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance (1993) - Mary Jane's Last Dance is from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' 1993 album Greatest Hits. Technically, this song is not country blues compared to the rest of the list but is a very swampy, bluesy song and features excessive use of harmonica. The song was one of two new studio tracks recorded for their Greatest Hits compilation album and was recorded in the midst of their 1994 studio album Wildflowers being released a year before Wildflowers.
AC/DC - Ride On (1976) - Ride On is from AC/DC's 1976 studio album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. The song is technically not country blues but lacks AC/DC's usual fast tempo and this song is a slow tempo blues ballad. This song is the only ballad the band had ever recorded during their whole entire career.
Led Zeppelin - In My Time of Dying (1975) - In My Time of Dying is from Led Zeppelin's 1975 studio album Physical Graffiti. The song is the longest studio recorded track the band recorded during their career, running over at slightly over 11 minutes. The song is a cover of an old gospel blues standard and has themes of death and suicide. Several years before Led Zeppelin even formed, Bob Dylan also covered the song on his self-titled debut studio album in 1962. The song features excessive use of slide guitar.
