Thanks Marty, I’m Hairy Larry and I’ve got the blues for you.
Kyle Tims got in touch with me about playing at Blues Fest and we were glad to have him perform in September of 1997. I was talking to some of my friends who had played at Blues Fest, 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. Music runs in the family in Northeast Arkansas so I expected Kyle to put on a good show but everyone was just knocked out by his fantastic blues guitar work following in the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Here’s Kyle Tims now, with James Salger, bass, and Johnny Churchwell, drums, recorded at Blues Fest 97, playing a Hendrix song “Little Wing”. Continue reading

2. Something Blue – Run – 29 second spot
Thanks Marty, It’s great to be here on Arkansas Roots sharing songs from the archives of Something Blue.
I met John Spencer at Blues Fest and it wasn’t long before we had John and Tommy, The Spencer Brothers, on stage. John came to me with some songs that he and Tom Turner wrote, Tom was the lyricist and John put them to music. John is a regular at KASU events, both playing and in the audience and Tom Turner was raised at Burnt Hill, just down the road from me.
The title track for the CD is called “Road To Brigadoon” and it’s a protest song with a deep message. John is a multi instrumentalist and besides singing the lead vocals he played guitar, harmonica, mandolin, banjo, dobro, and double bass on the album. After we had all the tracks down we were looking for a female vocalist to sing harmonies on some of the songs. I found our singer, Cheryl Culp, at the ASU Farmer’s Market. We sang with her for years and are still close friends. We call her the Honey Lady, not just because of the way she sings. I eat Culp Honey every day.
Now here’s John Spencer with Cheryl Culp singing harmonies on the title track of John’s CD, “Road To Brigadoon”.

1. DJ Hairy Larry presents Delta Legends
2. Something Blue – Changes – 29 second spot
Thanks Marty, I’ve got a great blues song this week performed live at the Fall Ball by Delta Legends.
On September 30, 2017 Delta Legends took a road trip down to the Mississippi Hill Country to play at the Fall Ball. We originally booked to busk on Saturday morning but they offered us a slot early Saturday afternoon so we got to play that too. “All Over Again” is a blues standard made famous by B.B. King and Paul Butterfield. It’s one of our best songs and inspired by the festival stage we nailed it.
And, about that busking Saturday morning. We recorded that too and those songs are included on our CD, “Two Woman Blues”. It was a very productive day.
Now here’s Delta Legends playing “All Over Again”. Continue reading
