DJ Hairy Larry Presents John Shepherd Playing One Eyed Jack
From The Archives Of Something Blue May 7, 2023

Thanks Marty, today we're going to hear a brand new blues rock song recorded in Wynne, Arkansas.

Mr. John B. Shepherd is famous for his live blues guitar shows. I like to say, "I ain't saying John Shepherd is better than anyone else, but there sure ain't nobody else that plays better than him."

John also has a studio in his basement in Wynne, Arkansas. John calls it StudioJS. We recorded some of the tracks there for our Delta Legends album, "Two Woman Blues".

Well, this winter John got to work down in his studio and recorded a new album, "Guitar Soul", that we are planning to release on HairyLarryLand. And from that album we'll be hearing a pre-release version of "One Eyed Jack". Our friend, Michael Riley, played drums on the album but on this song John used Zoom drums built into his multitrack recorder.

02. Something Blue – Baker – 29 second spot

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a ZZ Tops song performed by some Northeast Arkansas musicians.

Wherever you live, if you’re a hot guitarist, you’ve got plenty of competition. But if you live in Northeast Arkansas and you’re a hot blues guitarist you’re competing in a whole different class. Steve Wages was one of the finest blues guitarists I’ve ever heard. And he could play rock and country music too.

Steve Wages and Bad Habit featured Steve on guitar, Braden Byrd – bass, and Billy Spence – drums. A genuine power trio with Arkansas Roots. They always put on a great show whenever they performed at the Craighead Forest Bandshell.

Shugga Shane, Jay Shepherd, and Charles Jones played many times at the Craighead Forest Bandshell, first as The Shugga Shane Band and then as Three Minute Genius.

DJ Hairy Larry presents Big Red and The Soul Benders playing “They Call Me Big Mama”.

02. Something Blue – Aspect – 29 second spot

Thanks Marty, today we’ll hear Big Red sing a Big Mama Thorton song at KASU Bluesday Tuesday in Newport.

I met Kelly and Mike jamming at Blues Fest and at the King Biscuit Blues Festival. They put together a fantastic blues act called Big Red and The Soul Benders so I was happy to hear I would get to record them at Bluesday Tuesday in Newport, Arkansas. When I was setting up my microphones I got another surprise. They had brought Jawbone from Jawbone and Jolene to play harmonica. Jawbone and Jolene had also played at Blues Fest several times so it was great to hear him again. It’s a small blues world in Arkansas.

DJ Hairy Larry presents Getty Moss playing “I Ain’t Got You”.

02. Something Blue – Empire – 29 second spot

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear the real blues recorded for Something Blue in Newport, Arkansas.

It was August 20, 2019, and it was hot and threatening rain. They had moved the Monster Grooves concert formerly known as Bluesday Tuesday indoors and we were glad. Because it was hot as August in Arkansas.

Mike Doyle and I had traveled south to see Gerry Moss, a storied bluesman. Moss was joined by Jerry Bone, bass and Danny Dozier, guitar presenting an all star lineup. All Arkansas musicians they did not disappoint. In fact they cooked all the way through their show.
