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

      And then thirteen years, someone else comes along and also discovers them... I'm going to see him in concert tomorrow and can't wait!

    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.

    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!

    @RobertHeadley 9 років тому +19

    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.

    • @beetleburps

      +Hayes Johnson any idea what key harp that is?

    • @PoLytnin
      @PoLytnin 8 років тому

      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....?

    • @iamsetset
      @iamsetset 6 років тому

      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

  • @thendrjazz
    @thendrjazz 8 років тому +2

    This cut starts from the black vaudeville and medicine show version recorded by the Memphis Jug Band with harmonica in 1930 and by Pink Anderson and others over the years from then through the folk boom of the 1960s to the present. This has run parallel to the country version by JImmie Rodgers, Ernest Tubb, Johnny Cash and the Brother Where Out Thou soundtrack. Pokey adds some stuff but its certainly not a new song just another variation on a long tradition.
