DJ Hairy Larry Presents The Joe Lee Combo Playing Don’t Get Around Much Anymore
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-02-18

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a jazz standard recorded live at Blues Fest.

Joe Lee was there at the beginning of Blues Fest in 1991 and he continued playing at Blues Fest for many years. There was this one time in 1998 when he brought Kenny Caldwell to play with him and I got to record some very fine jazz indeed.

Kenny Caldwell played with the Bill Black Combo. I only met him once, that day at Blues Fest, but some of my friends, Joy Sanford and Richard Murray, played in his band for his regular gig at the Holiday Inn. He was a jazz master guitarist, as good as anyone.

So getting to record him with Joe Lee was fantastic. Joe Lee was born in Inverness, Mississippi, but he spent most of his life in the Jonesboro area. He played with Mose Allison in Mississippi, was a top session man in Memphis, and then produced and recorded records at Fernwood working with Scotty Moore and Bill Black.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Kyle Tims Playing Texas Flood
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-02-04

Thanks Marty. All the songs featured on From The Archives Of Something Blue have Arkansas Roots. The song we’ll hear today has quadruple roots.

Kyle Tims played for us many times at Blues Fest. I love all his shows but the ones I connect to most were played by his blues rock power trio. Playing with Kyle were James Salger, bass, and Johnny Churchwell, drums, all from Northeast Arkansas.

I was talking to Sonny Burgess, Doug Greeno, and Larry Donn, and they told me that Kyle’s father, Tommy Tims, was a rockabilly drummer back in the day. So that’s a double connection.

The song “Texas Flood” was a big hit for Stevie Ray Vaughan, a Texas bluesman. But the song was written by an Arkansas bluesman, Larry Davis, and the guitar parts that everybody loves to hear Stevie play were first played by an Arkansas guitarist, Fenton Robinson. That’s the quadruple connection.

Collaborate on "Malaysia" - 2021-10-17

I played this on my twitch livestream on October 17, 2021, with an arrangement designed for collaboration. Collaborators play over a piano trio with the bass and drums provided by an irealpro script with the chords for my original song, "Malaysia". The irealpro app can be viewed running on my tablet on the right side of the video screen.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents PF Flyers Playing Child Of The Wild Blue Yonder
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2024-01-07

Thanks Marty, today we’re going to hear a John Hiatt song preformed by an Arkansas rock band at the Johnny Cash Heritage Festival.

Look, I’ve been knowing Scott Snellgrove and Sonny Hunt forever. They both helped with the bandshell project, Scott used to work with Joe Lee at Alley, and I recorded an album at Sonny’s Soundworks studio. They’ve both been playing music in Northeast Arkansas for over 50 years.

I met Grady McGwire and Eddie Ross when PF Flyers was featured at Bluesday Tuesday in Newport. They’re such a great band that I was thrilled to get to record them again on October 17, 2019, at the Johnny Cash Heritage Festival
in Dyess, Arkansas.

DJ Hairy Larry Presents Bebop Beatniks Playing African Violet
From The Archives Of Something Blue 2023-12-31

Thanks Marty. Today we’re going to hear some latin salsa recorded live at Blues Fest.

During the pandemic I missed performing so I started to live stream on Twitch. In 2021 I wrote “African Violet” and as soon as I was able to start playing with Bebop Beatniks again it quickly became a favorite. We started using it to open all of our shows.
