A Prince blues album

Listening to Da Bang, i was thinking: which ensembled Prince songs would create a fine blues-album?

The Vault : old friends for sale is moving towards that territory, but it doesnt contain harder Blues-rock like tracks.

Here's my attempt at a tracklisting:

1. Chaos and Disorder
2. Zannalee
3. Five Women
4. The Ride
5. Da Bang
6. The truth
7. On the couch
8. How come you dont call me anymore
9. The Question of U
10.If i had a harem (Blues in C.)
11.Sara
12.Temptation

Any other suggestions in the 'blues department'?

Well, those two songs are in essence pure Blues-rock.

"Open Book" is kinda blues...Add a little bit of guitar, and that would be nice.

i have a magazine from 1994/1995 where it's stated that prince had
a full on blues album ready to go at that time, called "heart".

not sure how accurate the info is though since a lot of info from
that time is either 3rd hand or just myth.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

- I would love to hear a blues/rock album by Prince. With only guitar, bass and drums (ok, some organ). The Undertaker had some moments but I cant love it as I thought I would.

My list is a bit broader but touches more on the feel, melodic & chordal structures and delivery. I'd love to hear P do a blues revue with some rearranged songs. My list:

The Truth
3121 (at its core, a blues)
On the Couch
Girls & Boys
Vicki Waiting
Papa
Dark
Joy in Repetition
Thieves in the Temple
Uh-huh
