Halloween Songs with a Blues Theme

I Put a Spell on You - Buddy Guy and Carlos Santana or Screamin' Jay Hawkins
I know the original is by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Sorry. I just like the Guy and Santana version a little better for my Halloween song playlist. I think it's that screamin' thing. On the other hand, screamin' fits in so much better with Halloween. You decide.

Voodoo Chile - Jimi Hendrix or Steve Winwood
This is a Jimi Hendrix song through and through, but Steve Winwood does a good version, too.

Halloween Blues - Clarence Brewer
A blues performer from the Ozarks, Clarence Brewer is also a good slide guitar player. He only has one album available, wish there was more from him. If you like this one, add his Graveyard Blues and Devil's Den to your Halloween song list.

Vampire Bitin' Blues - John Vosel & the Boogie Monsters
John Vosel gives the blues a modern twist. If you like this cut, he has a entire album of Halloween songs, entitled "Halloween Blues".

So What If It's Halloween - Bob Malone
"There ain't no monsters in this joint as scary as a human being." I think that says it all about this Halloween song.

Halloween - Bob Malone
You'll love the spooky, bluesy piano solo in this one.

Halloween - Suitcase Willy
Funky Halloween blues song with a strong bass guitar.

Haunted House - B. B. King
No blues list would be complete without some B.B. King. So let's not leave him out at Halloween. Especially when he's living in a haunted house.

Halloween Blues - John Vosel & the Boogie Monsters
Another song from the album, "Halloween Blues."

Devil Got My Woman - Skip James or Dion
Be a traditional Devil and go for the Skip James version. Or try the Dion version - which I like a lot as a Halloween song.

Transylvania Mania Blues - Megan Mullaly
A perfect Halloween song from Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein. And yes, that's Megan Mullaly, formerly of "Will and Grace".

Permanently Halloween - Lenny McDaniel
If you like tattoos you might not like this song. But you have to admit, it's kind of funny.

Jack-O-Lantern Blues - Big Jeff
It's a kid's song, but it's cute and fun and bluesy. Your kids will like it and adults will grin, too.
