Matt Lucas, The MC Twine
Welcome to Something Blue. I’m Hairy Larry and I’ve got the blues, for you.
Witch Dance, Lectric Chair Blues
Matt Lucas, The Mau Mau Boogie
Now that’s what I’m talking about. That’s Matt Lucas playing “The Mau Mau Boogie”, a song he wrote, written for Dr. Ike in New Orleans, and recorded in 2000 in Chicago, featuring James Burton on guitar. Leading us off we heard Matt sing his hit, “The MC Twine”, recorded in the motor city, Detroit, Michigan. In between there we heard “Lectric Chair Blues” from the new Witch Dance album, “Nowhere” featuring Doctor Death Ray on guitar.
Something Blue is broadcast on KASU, 91.9 FM and streaming on the internet at kasu.org.

Ok now, here are some pre-release songs from the John Good and Friends album, “Honky Tonk Joy”. We’ll hear “Ed” and “Trouble In Mind”. “Ed” was written by Mike “Burger” Scoggins who also wrote “Honky Tonk Joy”. Burger sang with The Chaps that later became the Sweet Magnolia Band. John Good contributed fiddle and guitar to the Sweet Magnolia Band album. John and Burger continued to play together and John performed at Blues Fest in the nineties under his stage name, Duke. I am working on the whole lineage from The Chaps in the sixties to the present with John Good and Friends.
Then we’ll hear the Jelly Roll Kings play “Honeydrippin’ Boogie”.

Witch Dance, Invisibella
Witch Dance, Time Machine Blues
All right now, that’s Witch Dance singing “Invisibella” and “Time Machine Blues” from their new album “Nowhere”. Before that we heard John Good and Friends do the Bruce Springsteen song, “Atlantic City”. This week I’m playing a lot of music from some of my old friends.

I’m Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue. I mentioned the soon to be released album, “Honky Tonk Joy” by John Good and Friends. It’s a double album with two CDs and nearly two hours of music. I can’t wait to deliver it to Marty for Arkansas Roots and to feature more songs by these great Arkansas musicians on From The Archives of Something Blue, all part of the joy of being an Arkansas musicologist.
Ok now, closing the show we’ll hear one of my favorite bands, The Jelly Roll Kings play two songs, “Road Of Love” and “Just a Dream (Just a Feeling)” from their album “Rockin’ The Juke Joint Down”. The Jelly Roll Kings were Jack Johnson, Frank Frost, and Sam Carr, all good friends of mine from back in the day. In between there we’ll hear Matt Lucas sing “Ballad Of Effie”, a heart wrenching song about his adoptive mother, Effie, from his album, “Musician’s Blues”. Matt was a frequent guest at Blues Fest and KASU Jazz Thursday. Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, blues is the mainstream.
