Coolest thing ever from Arkansas

Illegal Smile - John Prine

Legend of the USS Titanic - Jamie Brockett

The Mighty 1090 - KAAY

Discovered most of my Favorite music on Beaker St. Beaker St trivia, in those days radio stations were required to have someone at the transmitter site when they were on the air. Since Clyde Clifford did the show alone he was forced to broadcast from the transmitter site in the same room with the equipment. He played all the "acid" drone tracks in the background while he was talking to mask the noise coming from the cooling fans in the transmitter.

The Purple Canteen - "Brains In My Feet" (1969)

A classic trippy rocker from that hotbed of psychedelia, Jonesboro Arkansas. Apparently they rented a house for rehearsals in nearby Goobertown -- is there really such a place?

The flip side of their only single, "Brains In My Feet" sounds a lot like Jefferson Airplane during the vocal parts, while the guitar sections take a right turn into Fuzzville.

According to one website, "The band's trailer was shaped like a huge purple coffin inscribed with Purple Canteen to scare the kids".

King Biscuits was from England

King Biscuit Time, originally sponsored by King Biscuit Flour, with Sonny Boy Williamson as their trademark, was the longest running radio show. Sonny Payne was the long-time host. Died in 2018. Not sure if they continued it after his death.

King Biscuit Time is the longest-running daily American radio broadcast in history. The program is broadcast each weekday from KFFA in Helena, Arkansas, United States, and has won the George Foster Peabody Award for broadcasting excellence. In 2018, certain selections of King Biscuit Time from 1965 were selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant."[1]

History and description
The first broadcast of King Biscuit Time was on November 21, 1941 on KFFA in Helena, and featured blues artists Sonny Boy Williamson II (Rice Miller) and Robert Lockwood, Jr. Williamson and Lockwood played live in the studio and were the key musicians in the original studio band, the 'King Biscuit Entertainers.' Other musicians who joined the original band were Pinetop Perkins on piano and James Peck Curtis on drums. Williamson left the program in 1947, but returned for a stint in 1965 just prior to his death.

The 30-minute-long live radio program is broadcast at 12:15 pm every weekday and was named after the local brand of flour, King Biscuit Flour, distributed by the Interstate Grocer Company. The distributor financed the show at the behest of Williamson in exchange for endorsements and naming rights. KFFA was the only station that would play music by African-Americans, and it reached an audience throughout the Mississippi Delta region. It inspired blues musicians including B.B. King, Robert Nighthawk, James Cotton, and Ike Turner. The show's 12:15 pm time slot was chosen to match the lunch break of workers in the Delta.

The King Biscuit Flower Hour was an American syndicated radio show presented by the D.I.R. Radio Network that featured concert performances by various rock music recording artists.

History
The program was broadcast on Sunday nights from 1973 until 2005, although new programming ceased in 1993 and previous shows were repeated from that point. During its prime, the program was carried by more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. The show's name was derived from the influential blues radio show King Biscuit Time, which was sponsored by the King Biscuit Flour Co., combined with the hippie phrase "flower power". The first show was broadcast on February 18, 1973 and featured Blood, Sweat & Tears, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Bruce Springsteen. The long-time host of the show until the mid-1990s was Bill Minkin, whose voice has been described as "the perfect blend of hipster enthusiasm and stoner casualness."
