Well I hear Summertime as blues and, of course, Freddy's Blues is blues.

Sunny is soul and the rest are jazz standards.

Next time you want some hardcore blues try Lil Sonny Boy Hisself.

I wrote this about Larry Donn

I met Larry Donn when I invited him to play at Blues Fest. He said, "Blues Fest? I'm more of a rocker." I replied, "It's all blues".

He had a column called "Rockabilly Days" in the English magazine, "Now Dig This". They were packed full of information while also being quite funny. We still have some of his articles posted on Delta Boogie.

He opened my eyes to the importance of Northeast Arkansas music to the rest of the world
