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

All right now, we're listening to one of Jonesboro's hottest bands, Plain Meanness, recorded live at KASU's Blue Monday at the Red Goose Restaurant in Paragould, Arkansas, on October 17, 2011. We heard "The Man In Me", "Pipeline", and "Where Is My Mind". 

This four piece band includes Patrick Dailey, guitar; Derek Doyle, upright bass; Greg Arnold, drums; and Corey Emerson, horns. They all sing.

Now here they are again playing "Brand New Cadillac".

And that's one from the new Plain Meanness CD, The Sower and the Reaper, called "Yellow Eyes and Strychnine".

You're listening to KASU, the home of the Blues every Saturday night,  91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org. KASU also presents free concerts every month.

I'm Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue, and I really enjoy recording the KASU Blue Monday, Bluesday Tuesday, and Jazz Thursday shows. There's no music like live music so I'm inviting you to come to these free concerts and be sure you say hi.

The Something Blue website is at sbblues.com where you can listen to podcasts of the show any time. And you can find out more about Plain Meanness at plainmeanness.com. They're a great band. They play a wide variety of music, and all I can say to anyone who says local bands aren't as good is you haven't heard Plain Meanness.

Coming up next it's a Jimbo Maltus song, "The Ghost Of Stephen Foster". Then we'll hear "Way Down In The Hole" and "Run Chicken Run".

Now that's what I'm talking about, it's the guitar work of Patrick Dailey on "Tracks", another song from the Plain Meanness CD. Before that we heard Corey Emerson sing the Al Green classic, "Let's Stay Together". Now that's the Blues.

Now here's another song from The Sower and the Reaper CD. One called "I've Got My Suitcase Packed Tonight".

Plain Meanness played for us at the KASU Blue Monday on October 17, 2011. They were rocking the Red Goose. They did everything from Eastern European folk music to Dylan and The Dead. Here they are with a train song, "Casey Jones".

Oh yeah, It's Plain Meanness doing ZZ Top's "Precious And Grace". I've got two more songs for you tonight. The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" and Dick Dale & the Del-Tones' "Miserlou". Give it up for them. Plain Meanness.
