Now that's what I'm talking about. It's the Reba Russell Band recorded live at Bluesday Tuesday on November 13, 2012 at the Newport Country Club in Newport, Arkansas. We heard, "Off The Clock And On The Floor", "My Babe", and "Toolbox Blues". Special thanks to Matt Fischer who recorded the show for us and who also helped in post production and in selecting the songs. I also want to thank Sonny Burgess who ran sound for Reba.

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

I am pleased to be able to bring you the Queen of Memphis Blues recorded live at a KASU event. Here's the Reba Russell Band now doing a Bessie Smith song "Electric Chair" followed by "Love Is The Cure".

All right now, it was Bluesday Tuesday and The Reba Russell Band was hot. They always put on a great show and those Newport dancers let a band know they are appreciated. We heard "At Last" and "Gonna Get That Good Man When His Good Woman's Gone".

Special thanks to Mike Doyle, Matt Fischer, and Sonny Burgess for helping me with this radio show. When it comes to producing Something Blue sometimes it takes a village. I was singing with stAte Vox at a concert for my jazz vocals class or you know I would have been there.

There's no music like live music so come check us out. KASU brings you live shows every month, blues, jazz, and bluegrass. It's always a party. Be sure to say hi. We appreciate it when you enjoy the music.

I have two more songs for you tonight. Here's one of my favorites, an original, written by Wayne Russell, called "Almost A Memory" and then a Koko Taylor classic, "Wang Dang Doodle".
