All right now, we're listening to Eric Hughes and Guy Venable recorded at Bluesday Tuesday at the Newport Country Club on February 8, 2011. We heard "Whining Boy" and "That'll Never Happen No More". Eric and Guy have a unique sounding duo drawing mostly on Jug Band and Old Time Blues. Their stage show is fun with Eric playing bass drum, washboard, harmonica and kazoo. They switch off on guitar and Guy also plays bass.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Nothing like those "Home Grown Tomatoes". Before that we heard "Cut You Loose".

It's Eric Hughes and Guy Venable tonight recorded at KASU's Bluesday Tuesday in Newport, Arkansas. What a fantastic show.

Here's one of my favorite songs because I may look like a farmer but I'm a lover. It's "You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover".

And that's Eric Hughes and Guy Venable doing a Sonny Boy classic, "Bring It On Home". Now that's the Blues.

We're gonna close with some more Jug Band music. First "Stealin" and then "Mama Don't Allow No Piano Playing Round Here". Pay attention and you will hear Eric playing the piano on his guitar.
