Something Blue - Memphis Queen

Let's Have A Ball intro etc.
Part-Time Love

All right now, it's The Reba Russell Band recorded live at the ASU Blues Symposium on April 9, 2011. We heard Reba introduce the band while they played a great dance and party song and then we heard "Part-Time Love". The Reba Russell Band is hot. They play at the King Biscuit Festival in Helena every year and they tour all over the world. It was great hearing them in Jonesboro at the ASU Student Center.

Get That Good Man When His Good Woman's Gone
When The Lights Go Out

Now that's what I'm talking about. It's Reba Russell singing "When The Lights Go Out". Before that we heard an original song called "Get That Good Man When His Good Woman's Gone".

The Reba Russell Band performed at the ASU Student Union as part of the Delta Blues Symposium on April 9, 2011. I had the great privilege of opening that show which also featured The Jess Hoggard Band and Sonny Burgess and The Pacers. The music was great all afternoon and The Reba Russell Band topped it all off like icing on a cake.

I'm Hairy Larry and you're listening to Something Blue on KASU, the home of the Blues in Northeast Arkansas every Saturday night including Jim "The Generator Man" Drennan at 9:00 right before Something Blue. Jim loves Reba Russell and if you listen closely you can hear his familiar voice talking to Reba from the audience.

The Reba Russell Band is at rebarussell.com. They are tops. One of the best Blues Bands in the Delta with a large international following. You can hear why right now on Something Blue.

Here's another original, "Gonna Move To Mississippi" and then she closed her show with a Janis Joplin song, "Piece Of My Heart".

Gonna Move To Mississippi
Piece Of My Heart

All right now, what a great show. Closing us out tonight it's "The Same Old Blues" featuring Robert Nighthawk Tooms recorded on September 14 last year at Bluesday Tuesday. Until next time this is Hairy Larry reminding you once again, Blues is the mainstream.
