Oh I LOVE this song.....simple, pure and wonderfully unique!! What a talented young man...I could listen to him all night....Love his style of singing and guitar pickin'....POKEY YOU ARE WONDERFUL!!!!
I saw them last week in Paradiso-Amsterdam. He did this song too. It was soo beautifull. It was the first time i saw them live and it was one of the best live bands i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot.
This is a very special song...that I think has gotten lost in the playlist behind all the faster tempo stuff. This is in my top three favorite songs by Pokey LaFarge.
Big fan of Pokey since I saw him on Music City Roots. How can you not like a name like Pokey Lafarge! First time I've heard this. sublime. thanks for the upload.
Just so damn nice seriously beautiful song that I love so much.Can someone tell me the story behind this song?Is it a "true song"as Mr Monroe would say?Who is Josephine?,a wife?,a baby girl?
a man is leaving to a treatment center. "goin' to Carolina to rest my bones. He's been home and it didn't work. Whisky.....and apples and oranges ar noon. He realy wants it to work. (Lay me down.....) And I really like the guitar, so simple and so great.
The Frozen Man thawed out. And here he is! Preserved from the days before the great freeze (music was lost in the vortex of auto-tune, blurred genre lines, and lesser beings in the music world). With Pokey we have a rare creature. Genuinely talented!
Not the same without that great band .. long time fan here but disappointed as a single performance. It all blended so nicely with his style of singing with his band
One of the nicest tracks I have heard in 63 years.

I think if the records could be found, Pokey was born in Illinois 137 years ago
This song can really calm a stirring mind. Great stuff.
Pokey LaFarge - old time legends from a new time
I saw them last week in Paradiso-Amsterdam. He did this song too. It was soo beautifull. It was the first time i saw them live and it was one of the best live bands i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot.
They seem like they’d be so fun and interactive
Pokey is great! Keeps things true to the roots. Ragtime, blues. Love it.
Simply natural ! in contrast to all artificial high tech modern music fakers, wonderful !
Tru dat...spoken like a true music aficionado... posers be damned . Lol
I have no idea, but it is SUCH a sweet song thinking about a man singing it to his baby girl!
Keep it going!! The new generation taking it, and making beautiful music!!!!
He is a reincarnate. He has the face, the sound, and everything from the 20's.
The 2020s.
@@bellsauce Let him usher in the roaring 20's!
So old school I can smell the saw dust on the barn dance floor.
Pomade and shavie crame also

An incredible, lyrical sound master.

Pokey is an Absolute American Treasure.
I love his expression. This is true.
Talent.

The passion and tension in his voice reminds me of the late, great Jeff Buckley.
Dude, fantastic! Keep it up!

Smacks of John Hurt.
And just when most people thought Pokey was a rhythm guitarist 💙💙💙
Just stunning

¡Grande Pokey!
Has Pokey LaFarge got any more solo tunes ? Heard one when he was live and he did a whisteling solo and it was incredible
I heard him do that on when did you leave heaven and it was so nice lol
Yep he did that at a gig in Nijmegen, loved it!!
My favorite new artist!
This guy is good.
OL Timey all the Time.
Listen to Carolyn Hatch Payne. She is a great singer as well. Her song is called HOOKERS NIGHT OUT. Eehehe. A fishing song.
WOW .......................
Just so damn nice seriously beautiful song that I love so much.Can someone tell me the story behind this song?Is it a "true song"as Mr Monroe would say?Who is Josephine?,a wife?,a baby girl?
Very reminiscent of Jesse Fuller's "San Francisco Bay Blues" - particularly Jack Elliot's Version here on youtube
Certainly a rare talent.
Maravilloso
Perfect Pokey.
For a moment I thought I was listening to Ralph McTell
a man is leaving to a treatment center. "goin' to Carolina to rest my bones. He's been home and it didn't work. Whisky.....and apples and oranges ar noon. He realy wants it to work. (Lay me down.....) And I really like the guitar, so simple and so great.
That background is so typically Dutch!
Fantassstiiiccc!11
1 september is hij weer in Maassilo Rotterdam ik kan niet wachten 😛
Sympa!
So good
It's sounds like the music to Your Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
woow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Frozen Man thawed out. And here he is! Preserved from the days before the great freeze (music was lost in the vortex of auto-tune, blurred genre lines, and lesser beings in the music world). With Pokey we have a rare creature. Genuinely talented!
LOVE IT :)
is that Robbin Williams sitting in the background?
amazing. just amazing. I've probably contributed over 400 views.
+Steven Wright I am right behind you.
😊
me encanta esa canción
Where was this recorded?
❤️
Not the same without that great band .. long time fan here but disappointed as a single performance. It all blended so nicely with his style of singing with his band
Does Pokey have more songs like this?
Ghislaine Joymar All sorts, start surfing you tube and enjoy!
madogblue Goodbye Barcelona and get lost are great ☺
Ghislaine Joymar Goodby Barcelona was great thanks!
You would probably also really like My Kentucky May. One of my favorites by Pokey. He has 4 or 5 albums though, loads of great tunes.
Get lost and I forget the Name of the other one I found so far, something about why did you leave heaven
If only I was Joshine.
Степь, да степь кругом.
best part 0:00 - 3:05
Recorded in the Netherlands yeah
It's good to be a josie..
This is what makes America great - as it was, and could be. Not fuckin' walls . . .
He has very bluegrass voice!
Perfect song… but the compression of UA-cam break the thing…
This sounds an awful lot like don't think twice by bob Dylan
a lot less bitter than bob pokey seems like a much nicer guy .. I assume that Dylan is somewhat of an ass
They don’t pick like that anymore
Wow...very tasty.
If anyone's feeling that way inclined, I've got a more mellow cover of this on my channel :) check it out!
I bet mark knophler could pick and sing like pogey ....
