Drinkin' Whiskey Tonight - Pokey Lafarge and the South City Three

Taped from "Jools Holland Hootenanny Party" on 31/12/2011 - 01/01/2012 on BBC 2.
Jools always has some surprises in his programm. This was another one!! Great fun to see this four guy's singing and playing. Great performance! Another good start for 2012!!

I’ve NEVER seen a better band! Awesome is inadequate!

[@oleboyblue6845]

Hot damn now it's a hootenanny! Pass the fire water!

[@cowdiva1]

It is physically impossible to be sad when listening to this song. It should be mandatory listening by all diagnosed as depressed. I'm thinking those drug companies just might be put out of business by Pokey and crew! NICE!

[@dontaylor7315]

Dang it's good to hear somebody play and sing western swing like they MEAN it.

[@frankibabe685]

so much real talent .... really stands out from the stereotype crap we have to suffer and who can be the most famous the quickest,

[@geoffminter2927]

I've never heard a band so tight, even when they just jam in the middle of songs. Epic stuff

[@easleyrider]

This song has been the anthem of many of my nights. Thanks pokey!!!!

[@johnnyg3603]

Watching them live is like going back in time and watching one of the most famous bands around.

[@Sabazius2101]

Best version. Absolutely perfect.

[@boogiebluester]

I agree!! Thanks.

[@pwahthewookiebanter]

that double bassist is the deffinition of awesome

[@nickedmondson2014]

Shame they no longer perform together. Added some drums and same brass and ruined them.

[@52barney]

Person they are from the BLUES MECCA of the USA.....St. Louis, MO.

[@melanieelliott8417]

Hey.... Texas is the birth place of Blues... Chicago ain't nothin to sneeze at either... Blues is born in your blood! That's TRUE blue blood! Not from what part of the country you are from..I think you could find blues all over the world . plenty of folks singing the blues lately !

[@yehudivenuti]

@@melanieelliott8417 ha! sorry melanie. texass aint got nothing on memphis. but you're right. it's in the blood .....

[@garygiacomelli]

Pokey is originally from Bloomington, illinois. Right up Route 66 from St Louis. Who knew, right ...

[@bettinajoseph3758]

Oh ... Just exactly eleven jears ago ....

[@andrewbutcher3391]

Fabulous in every way... perfect!

[@stoneaxeprod]

I love seeing authentic American old time music and not a hippie/hipster interpretation of it.

[@andrewfleming676]

It's important to preserve Americana. It is our history after all.

[@randyelliott9152]

Asylum Street Spankers!! Robert Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenaders....Yup...That R.Crumb .....

[@johnniesoesbee7015]

I'm glad Pokey was born in my time 😊👌☺️

[@edjahh]

Feet tapping, whiskey zipping

[@fluorosco]

Look like they walked straight out of Tombstone and sound awsome

[@sashapentovmusic]
