Now that's what I'm talking about, Johnnie Jones Jr. singing about the "Damndest Woman".

Barry Cloyd is a touring singer/songwriter, a musicologist and an educator. He has also co-written, produced and toured with more than 20 folk musicals and is a co-founder of Prairie Folklore Theatre. My friend, Chris "Stinger" Stevens turned me on to his music so it's a big hi ho and thanks out to both of them. I've got two more Barry Cloyd songs for you now. Heres "Boomtime" and "Hey You".

Oh yeah, that's Billy Jones singing "Love Nobody Else". An incredible bluesman leading an incredible band. They are the new blues. Billy Jones Bluez plays often at KASU blues events. He always puts on an amazing show.

Now here's a song from another great Arkansas bluesman who I have enjoyed live at KASU concerts. Here's Joe Pitts doing "Clouds On The Horizon".
