On That Note: (All About That) Bass

[cyclones500]

Happy New Year, from the crew at OTN (@MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500).

For this segment, we focus on songs that open with a bass guitar line. Ideally, it'd be bass-only, but we allow tracks that include additional instruments/sounds/vocals, as long as bass is THE prominent element.

• Last week’s OTN: Now Your Calendar’s Complete

Here's one to get us "low" (in an "uplifting" way!).

It isn't my favorite from the group, and perhaps overplayed, but captures the basic theme.

CCR original does NOT start with bass, but this cover does.

I’m not sure this one can be topped….Just my opinion, of course.
