Pokey LaFarge is my favorite band out there playing theses days. I’m glad this cool music is coming back around.

OH YEAH! His new album in 2021 is great! He is straying a bit from his older schtick to calypso and reggae and exploring a mix of many a sounds you see. Kudos Pokey, you go boy! It's great and we love your vocal fluctuations too! Murf the Surf

Saw him last week in Fort Collins at the wonderful Washington's venue. Such a STELLAR performance!

This has put the biggest smile on my face! Wow instant Pokey Fan!

Fabulous recording , you can hear every instrument .

For 75 years ive been searching,UEREKA, ive found it thankyou pokey and your wonderful band

I can watch this 100 times and it is forever catchy, i would just love to see them live once

My rock 'n' roll heart can't figure out why my soul loves Pokey LaFarge so much.

Can't get enough of him and his band. So genuine and brilliant.

I’m enthralled just listening to him speak... what a voice.

So many of my favorite old.artists coming back to life at once. Wow.

What great talent , the music, the costumes and stage presence! Thanks Gents for keeping this great genre alive.

Love this Band to the Moon and Back... come play for me.

Pokey is great live, good sound and great songs, thanks for this one KEXP....

I was a hit record producer, music publisher, song writer and engineer from 1969 to 1987 in Muscle Shoals AL. I just heard Pokey and his creative crew for the first time 2 days ago. I see why they turn an audience on with their music, message and stage presence. After hearing and watching them perform two songs, I was hooked. What they are doing is especially exciting for me because I understand and truly admire the creative thought process it takes to deliver moving, fun, and thought provoking music in a genuine,entertaining way - and at the same time establish a strong identity.

We had open doors to new songwriters, musicians and artists. So the good ones knew they might get a shot in the music business in Muscle Shoals as opposed to New Your and LA.

Terry Woodford, I hope you see this reply years later! Very well said. I only discovered Pokey LaFarge and his band a few weeks ago, and like you, I was hooked from the first song. They have a really marvelous, genuine indefinable quality. I was "smitten" from the beginning, and utterly charmed. I hope they continue for many years.

Belgium is still happy to see you guys 2 times!!

Simply awesome. Love you guys. Saw them at Red Wing Roots music festival in the blue ridge mountains of VA last year. They killed it!! Gonna be catchin em again this weekend at the Black Cat in DC. Cant wait to have a couple hours of silky smooth homemade jams to enjoy by these guys!!!

Somewhere in time, hidden away in a smoke-filled speakeasy while enjoying some bathtub gin..I must've heard this cat play.

Feb 2 2021 Right now!!! Love this guy

If I have a favorite band this is it! Big thanks to Pokey Lafarge, his band and all of us fans that keep real music alive! Thank you KEXP for helping expose this kind of brilliance!

My first taste of Pokey was "Fuck me up". I was absolutely blown away. I said this in another song comment line but it bares repeating. "A Cleaver twist back in time with a bold modern flair". That is how I would describe Pokey LaFarge. Excellent!

Pokey you and your band nailed it despite the studio

Pokey is the BEST!!!! Please come to Colorado!!!

such fine musicians ... and the lady, just 21 back then, chapeau!

They are great. I especially like the muted trumpet and the New Orleans style Clarinet (of course the rest of the guys are great!)

I wish they had zoomed in on her a bit more rather than Pokey just standing there doing rhythm while she was cookin' on the clarinet!

I'm so lucky to be from St. Louis where music like this is born.

music at its best

takes 0.1 seconds to see the talent here. loooooove

It really makes you appreciate the work that has been put in to make such cool music. Well done pokey! :)

Have seen pokey 4 times. Amazing! Each time.

Love this band!

Fabulous 😎😎😎😎😎 can't stop smiling, so glad I found this.

Love this song, great tune!

grooves like hell!!!just gotta love it!!

Amazing talent Sir, truly appreciate your sharing this

Great to hear new material from Pokey! I hadn't heard anything new from them since they came over to the UK for New Year's 2011/12

Love these folks.

LOVE this!!

What a great band!!! Nailed it!

I love this!

Great stuff thanks for sharing 🎶😎

GREAT!!

So glad these guys are coming back to the Netherlands! This friday in Amsterdam!

Really Great.

This was a great combo.

Amazing band!!

This guy is truly timeless. I had the distinct privilage of seeing him back in Sept (10)? In my hometown of Muncie, lN. Love this guys retro vintage blend of rhythm/blues 1930's swing big beat sound. He s up there somewhere with Robert Johnson, Django Reinhart, and Arlo Guthrie s folk style sound and style. He will go far indeed. Roots music provocateur extrordinaire. Go Pokey!!!

Excelentt! Very good! Lovely!

Loved the Cain's shout-out, a classy act in a classy place.

Best music out there. ❤️🤗

That was grand!!!

killin it everytime

pokey is phenomenal!

TOO GOOD !!!

sassy! love that trumpet player! thanks for bringing musicality back to music, all of you'uns!

Even Willie Nelson would give you props for your contribution to music and the average man. Thanks buddy.

Great fun

Great.. I'm Mexico City Excellent music

Wheee, some new stuff! You've got talent!

I like it.

gee poke you give me a reason to live

*in an old timey accent* Say there Mr. LaFarge, I'll give you and your boys 5 dollars a piece if you come sing into this here can!

Toronto needs a tour stop folks!

Pokey's Americana Roots Jazz style is so fresh sounding. Almost as if he invented the style. I've been listening for a while now and he is an excellent showman.

que du bonheur!!!!!! A Paris le 15/10/2015

Close the Door 😎

Hell Yeah!

I’m a fan.

Pokey for president

Ain't this the best there is , ; ;;

Pokey seriously brushed up on his falsetto since that last release! Very fine!

Yes we can hope for replacements or reunions although they do quite well with the south city three.
