Something Blue - Blue - November 22, 2014

Carl Holden, Waitin For Basie

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

Johnnie Jones Jr, Hard Boss Man
Johnnie Jones Jr, Bad Boy

Now that's what I'm talking about. It's Johnnie Jones Jr. from his new CD "It's The Fame, It's The Blame" and he's a "Bad Boy". Before that he sang "Hard Boss Man". And kicking us off tonight was Jonesboro guitarist, Carl Holden, recorded at my new HairyLarryLand studio, playing "Waitin' For Basie".

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

I'm Hairy Larry, host of Something Blue and I love airing local talent on the radio. Johnnie Jones has got his own thing going singing free verse blues over minimalist arrangements. Here he is again with "Meal Ticket". Then we'll hear Carl Holden playing one he wrote called "Jonesboro Blues".

All right now, it's Gary Gazaway and The El Bujo Project recorded live at the KASU Coffee House held at TheArtsAt311 in downtown Jonesboro. What a band with Patrick Fusco on keys; Doc Samba, bass; and Peewee Jackson, drums. We heard "Anti Calypso" and "Leviathan".

Closing us out we have El Bujo doing a Blue Mitchell song, "Blue's Blues". Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, blues is the mainstream.
