All right now, that's the Hard Licker Band recorded live at Blues Fest on September 26, 2010. We heard "Jesus Just Left Chicago" and "Mary Had A Little Lamb".

The Hard Licker Band is from Wynne, Arkansas. Also from Wynne is John Shepherd, a Blues Fest regular who has often been featured on Something Blue. In the festival spirit John joined the band for half of their set starting with this next song "One Way Out".

Now that's the Blues. It's the Hard Licker Band singing about another lonely evening.

I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to Something Blue on KASU.

Kyle Harrison plays guitar with The Hard Licker Band. Like all contemporary Blues guitarists John and Kyle are both influenced by Jimi Hendrix. Here they are now with "Fairy Tale" and "Voodoo Chile".

Matt Lucas is a music legend who helped us out at Blues Fest and Jazz Thursday last September. We're featuring Matt Lucas on the rest of the show. At Blues Fest Matt was backed up by the Blues Fest house band, The Mudcats. Here's Matt now and he's "Reelin And Rockin".

All right now, Matt Lucas loves Jerry Lee Lewis and when Matt plays there's "A Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On". Before that we heard Matt singing the blues, talking about his "Sweet Little Angel".

I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to Something Blue on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org. You can also visit the Something Blue website at sbblues.com for more about the show, podcasts, and links. Go to reverbnation.com/jazzthursday for pictures of Matt singing at KASU's Jazz Thursday and go to archive.org for Matt's music as well as more from The Mudcats and John Shepherd. Keep up with our shows at the bandshell at deltaboogie.net.

You can find Matt Lucas on facebook and at mattlucasmusic.com. Matt helped us raise money for the Craighead Forest Bandshell at our Five Decades of Great Music show in the nineties. It was great to have him back in Jonesboro and singing at the bandshell.

I'm closing the show with Matt singing three great Blues songs each with his own twist. Kyle Harrison and John Shepherd joined Matt and The Mudcats on these songs. We'll hear "The Sky Is Crying", "Every Day I Have The Same Old Blues" and "Stormy Monday Blues". Here he is now and he's got the Blues, for you, Matt Lucas.
