Melvin Seals, Bright Side Of The Road

Welcome to Something blue. I’m Hairy Larry and I’ve got the blues, for you.

Melvin Seals, How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)

Now that’s what I’m talking about. That’s Melvin Seals singing “Bright Side Of The Road” and “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)”. That may be the bluesiest James Taylor I’ve ever heard. Melvin Seals was recorded live at the Sugarloaf Performing Arts Center in Sugarloaf, New York, on April 12, 2023.

Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Racer X
Kyle Hollingsworth Band, Live Forever

All right now, that’s the Kyle Hollingsworth Band playing “Racer X” and “Live Forever”. They were recorded live at the Winter Park Resort in Winter Park, Colorado, on April 8, 2023. I just love the organ sound in their progressive blues rock.

I’m Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue. Thanks to the Live Music Archive at archive.org for hosting the concerts we’re hearing tonight. Check out the Live Music Archive for live recordings of all kinds of music.

There’s no music like live music and the next best thing is recordings of live concerts. Go to the KASU website at kasu.org for their upcoming live music events. Get out of your house and go to the shows. Live music isn’t just better, it’s a totally different experience.

Ok, now, closing the show here’s Melvin Seals singing the Grateful Dead blues song, “Deal”. Melvin Seals performed with Jerry Garcia, before he died, in the band, JGB, Until next time this is Hairy Larry, reminding you once again, blues is the mainstream.
