Shake ‘Em on DownMississippi Fred McDowell
Mississippi Fred McDowell, known as a defining artist of North Mississippi hill country blues, was a late-blooming bluesman who kept making music while farming and drew attention with field recordings in 1959.
This piece is one of his most acclaimed songs, showcasing a hypnotic, repeating guitar riff and a moaning slide style.
It has a powerful charm that pulls listeners into a trance-like groove.
Originally a classic by Bukka White, in McDowell’s hands it transforms into a more earthy, kinetic dance number.
The most famous version opens his masterpiece Live in New York, compiled as his final album in the spring of 1972, just before his death.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants to feel not only the depth of the blues but also the primal impulse that leads into rock.
SaturdayFall Out Boy
Fall Out Boy, the pop-punk band that enjoyed immense popularity in the 2000s.
This is a weekend-themed track packed with their early, raw energy.
Rather than simply celebrating the freedom of the weekend, the song channels the impatience to escape a dull routine and the inner turmoil that comes with it, all propelled by a breakneck, exhilarating sound.
As it builds toward the end, the emotions seem to explode—just listening is enough to make your heart race.
Featured on the classic 2003 album Take This to Your Grave, this track has remained a staple of their live shows throughout their career—an anthem in every sense.
Why not give it a spin at the start of the weekend when you want to blow away those pent-up blues?
Spoonful BluesCharley Patton
Charlie Patton, one of the world’s great bluesmen known as the “Father of the Delta Blues,” possessed a raw, formidable voice.
The blues he spun from that voice and his slide guitar would go on to profoundly shape what we now call rock.
Among Patton’s recordings, a must-listen is this track cut in June 1929.
Centered on the idea that a person will do anything for just one drink, it explores fundamental human desire and thirst; his gravelly voice renders that urgency with visceral immediacy.
The masterpiece that includes this track, Screamin’ and Hollerin’ the Blues, won three Grammy Awards in 2003.
It’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the unvarnished emotions at the source of the blues.
Strangers In The NightFrank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night” was released in 1966 and is also well known in Japan under the title “Yoru no Stranger.” Originally composed by Bert Kaempfert as an instrumental piece for the film “A Man Could Get Killed,” it later had English lyrics added and, as a sung version, spread around the world.
The blend of its gentle sound and the expansiveness of Sinatra’s vocals leaves a heartwarming impression.
The song has been featured in a commercial promoting Pay Light, a cashless payment service for dental clinics across Japan, using the music to convey the service’s sense of reliability.
Still AliveDemi Lovato
Demi Lovato, also known for her roots on the Disney Channel, released this track in March 2023—and it’s a perfect fit for a thrilling Halloween night.
It serves as the theme song for the popular horror film series Scream VI, with lyrics that powerfully declare surviving hell and still being alive after repeatedly brushing with death.
The driving pop-punk sound and her soul-baring vocals shake listeners to the core.
The fact that Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda took part in the production is an irresistible bonus for rock fans.
If you’re aiming to set a slightly dark and edgy mood for your Halloween party, this is a must.
