My wife and I saw Pokey and the boys at a Jazz festival.....we were the only people there that actually knew him and his music.....people stood there trying to anticipate what they would do.....by 1 minute into the first song there were 1000 new Pokey LarFarge fans....
For real his band is *the best.* His style is good and the band makes him sound authenticly dated. Some vintage themed bands use more modern instruments or style, but I think I prefer this.
Ok, I don't want to sound stupid, but what is the genre? In my defence, I am in Australia and not sure about a lot of Americana music, But I LOVE the sound!
I stumbled on this fellow by accident, the wonders of the algorithms of the tube. What a wonderful song. He makes it his own with that devil’s grin. Going to buy everything I can lay my hands on by Pokey and his crews. Throwin that last clump of dirt on old Jim, made it.
Just saw them in California yesterday. They are amazing, Chloe and TJ add a new dimension with the clarinet and cornet. They were "havin a ball"; it was quite the night!
Love these guy's energy! AND! As an additional note, i can quite easily say that this is the first time, and only time i haven't heard the harmonica and thought "oh crap... a harmonica..." As good as i've heard it being played, i've never heard it played that well!
I will always be amazed at how such a talented group of guys click with each other. I can't wait to go see them in Stouton, Dec 11-11. Talk about Live Entertainment.....it starts with stuff like this.
I am a new fan to lafarge. I must say l am impressed. A combination of gypsy blues Spanish latina jazz. Like, Carlos santana. Viva le lafarge. You, sir, have a bright future,
I just discovered these guys and and I'm so obsessed I've spent the last 2 hours listening to them when I should have been working... BUT I DON"T REGRET 1 SECOND OF IT!!!!!
Anything for Great Britain is okay with me. Love you, chaps....You are the best...wish all the best for you and your country....much love from the USA!!! Pokey go there for them!!!
I just saw Pokey and Crew at Hillside Festival in Guelph. He is a wonderful blend of music preservationist and a modern writer, adding to the mix... The crowd went wild...
While this follows the same spirit of the "In the Jailhouse Now" that everyone is familiar with, the standard that was made super famous in "Oh Brother, where art tho?", this an entirely new song. The lyrics and personification are great.
It kinda sounds like f sharp, although Lee Oscar makes minor key harps, and his harps are held together by 4 screws, unlike Hohner which use 2 screws. I think I saw the 4 screws on this or one of their other videos. So, maybe f minor or f sharp minor....?
I believe that he is playing an F (not F sharp) major diatonic harp in 3rd position - root note (G) on 4 draw. 3rd position is often used by good players for minor tunes, but for me anything than 2nd (and a little 1st) position kinda fries my brain

This is why I love music. Once in a while you discover someone who is utterly fantastic. Pokey is that and more.

What a great band man. That wailing harmonica coppin the siren wail...the whole arrangement man ...pokey lafarge for president I say
He would be a refreshing change,!
Omfg. They are all unspeakably talented musicians. This is one of those moments in performance you just have to experience and stand in awe.
All of those solos were probably the coolest I've ever heard...
Check out Pokey / Bristol / Sadie Green
Staggering, just started exploring Pokey, came across him lookin' up Ray Condo songs, Petunia and the Vipers, Circus in Flames, hooked now, so cool
Ditto Steve! I'm a couple of weeks behind and I am absolutely enamored by Pokey's style and singing.
first time listening to music, nice.

Good to see the genre kept alive. This guy is AWESOME! Lots of talent on that stage

Im so glad this genre isnt dead
The harmonica police siren always gets me
Ya love that to
Such genres of music like this need to be more known!
Over a million views. It's going well
Just saw them in California yesterday. They are amazing, Chloe and TJ add a new dimension with the clarinet and cornet. They were "havin a ball"; it was quite the night!
Probably my favorite video on UA-cam
Unbelievably tight! I’m lovin’ this!
These guys are SICK!... just FANTASTIC! wow...
Love these guy's energy!
AND! As an additional note, i can quite easily say that this is the first time, and only time i haven't heard the harmonica and thought "oh crap... a harmonica..."
As good as i've heard it being played, i've never heard it played that well!
rorrt listen to Charlie Musselwhite.
Ever heard Blues Traveler?
Don't forget Magic Dick. He was no slouch on the harp.
Saw them live with Jack White. Key moment in my life.
Wow! That had to be something of a night...eh!?
so. fn. jealous...
Don't get better than that!
Ya I could see jack white diggn this band.....
Just discovered these guys. So good.

Keep it up, Pokey! You're doing us all proud.
Got hooked off of one song and now here I go down the rabbit hole!!

Im hooked. Been listening to them for 3 days straight
What a BAND, oh yeah !!!
Great, sure glad I found this group.
it's so refreshing to hear something different.
Really enjoyed this little dity...will continue to explore his music.
seriously my new obsession!
What a amazing story teller, mesmerizing performance
The Absolute GOAT!
Wow! That is just awsome.
This line-up was the best by far for Pokey Lafarge. Original, a bit rough but oh that swing!
Like a big ol grandfather clock....gotta agree with yall
What happened to this line up? They quit?
Love, love, love!!! Play DelFest this Memorial day weekend!!!!
love this group
Jesus Christ that harmonica solo
MrNOISEBOX
And the nicest bit of fast flat picking you're going to hear at the end!
MrNOISEBOX As a long time Blues harp player I agree, he is really skilled in his own style and it really works, never missed a note
Ya
The band member was good too
The timing of the guitar solo is something else.
WOW!!!!!! These guys are straight smokin'. Fun and fantastic!
These guys damn near saved my life with this music. Words cannot express. :)
Amazing. Thanks.
Best harmonic ever.

Everyone should see this video at least once.
I saw these guys in Tupelo 2 nights ago. They were awesome, and nicest guys you would ever want to meet!
I just saw Pokey and Crew at Hillside Festival in Guelph. He is a wonderful blend of music preservationist and a modern writer, adding to the mix...
The crowd went wild...
I love this group.

+Robert Headley It's mostly taken from Blind Blake's version.
+Hayes Johnson any idea what key harp that is?
It kinda sounds like f sharp, although Lee Oscar makes minor key harps, and his harps are held together by 4 screws, unlike Hohner which use 2 screws. I think I saw the 4 screws on this or one of their other videos. So, maybe f minor or f sharp minor....?

I prefer the JR VERSION.
