Eric Hughes and Guy Venable, You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover

Welcome to Something Blue. I'm Hairy Larry and I've got the blues, for you.

Eric Hughes and Guy Venable, Can't Get That Stuff No More

All right now, that's Eric Hughes and Guy Venable doing "Can't Get That Stuff No More". Kicking us off they sang "You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover". I recorded Eric and Guy at KASU Bluesday Tuesday on February 8, 2011.

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

I'm Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue. I've been updating Delta Boogie's Recording For Something Blue page with shows I've recorded and posted at the Live Music Archive. Head over to deltaboogie.com to find links to all the concerts I am playing tonight.

For most of the last ten years I sang in a duo, Hairy Larry and George. When I would take a break between sets George would go solo. Here he is now with one of my favorites, "Cherokee Fiddle".

George, Cherokee Fiddle
George, Hand Jive
George, Ripple

And that's George singing "Ripple". I"m on harp and background vocals. Before that we heard "Hand Jive". I recorded George at The Edge on October 19, 2007.

Now here's one more from Eric Hughes and Guy Venable, "Rock Me Mama".

Emporium Orkestra, KC Moan
Emporium Orkestra, Diggin My Potatoes

Oh yeah, it's the Emporium Orkestra featuring Rhode Island Red doing two great blues songs, "KC Moan" and "Diggin My Potatoes". The Emporium Orkestra is a jug band that hosts an open stage at Helena every year during the King Biscuit Blues Festival. These songs were recorded at Bunky's Breakfast on October 7, 2010.

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

I'm Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue. I record a lot of shows to upload to the Live Music Archive including all of the music we're hearing tonight.

I recorded William Lee Ellis at KASU Blue Monday on October 18, 2010, at the Red Goose Deli in Paragould. Here he is now with "Jesse James".

William Lee Ellis, Jesse James
William Lee Ellis, talk(Memphis Minnie intro)
William Lee Ellis, What's The Matter With The Mill

Now that's what I'm talking about, William Lee Ellis doing the Memphis Minnie song, "What's The Matter With The Mill". It just don't get no better than that.

One of the most popular blues songs of all time is Robert Johnson's "Love In Vain". Closing the show I've got two different versions of this great song for you, back to back, the first by William Lee Ellis and then an energetic rendition by the Emporium Orkestra. Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, blues is the mainstream.
