If you need to get out of town: Hayes Carll, Del McCoury and Roy Head



Still touring behind the critically acclaimed "Trouble in Mind," Hayes Carll plays Proud Larry's in Oxford on Saturday.

In Fayetteville, also on Saturday, jam-band favorites moe. are at George's Majestic, with the Del McCoury Band opening. I guess my finger's not really on the pulse of the jam scene because that bill seems upside down.

Blue-eyed soul legend Roy Head, who the Memphis Flyer describes as "a spastic, seething force of nature whose frenetic, hip-hunching dance moves made Elvis look like an arthritic altar boy, headlines second annual Memphis pops festival at the Hi-Tone on Saturday. There's a diverse line-up of local acts. This video of Head doing "Treat Her Right" is awesome.
