I find it inspiring how Pokey reinvents himself and develops as an artist. He’s willing to take risks and play the music he wants to play. I think it’s awesome

@@nankerphelge3771 but it is a legitimate opinion..... You like the new sound or not.... Thougt the same about Kitty, Daisy and Lewis... I like the older, rougher style more.... They want a bigger audience? Then they have to adjust to the majority's taste. Fine with me... 😁

@@bettinajoseph3758 True. There have been many bands whose sound evolved. Some of which I liked and others I did not. I always looked forward to the next thing by Bowie, but I used to be a fan of REO Speedwagon until they released High Infidelity. Classic example of " going bad by going commercial".

Great part about being an ‘indie artist’ which I think he still is. The guitar on this is 100% Creedence with the rhythmic 7th (sounds like a 7th - I might be wrong) basically the whole way through. That’s why, although I dislike a lot of the jam scene, they might have the most artistic freedom, because as long as they make good grooves their fans don’t care what ‘style’ of music they make. Just has to be fun or a religious like experience.

@@nankerphelge3771 I don't know much about REO Speedwagon (I'm Austrian, so for sure I know the songs which were popular in Europe), maybe if I listen to the other songs I know them (and this I will do) I am a child of the seventies because of the influence of the music my older siblings listened to 🤗 But I also listen to much older, classical music, and younger too if it's "good", means if I like it

Criminally underrated

Life is hard Everyone needs a little Pokey

He's one of the rare artists that actually get more interesting to listen to as their career progresses. You're awesome. Stay you, bro

I would say he does a tour of music by the decade. He started somewhere in the 20's and has made it to the 60's; give him a few more years and perhaps he will release an 80's hair metal ballad? All jokes aside, I love this as much as I love all his work; this guy is a true artist and I'm glad I'm alive to witness it.

Pokey had shifted his influences from the 30's and 40's to the 60's. Nothing wrong with that.

He’s just SO freaking good. I love that he’s continually trying new styles and slaying every one.

Gotta say.. discovered Pokey recently. Been playing him ever since. Absolutely cracking beats. It's really awesome to see the good music now carrying on through the generations. Also really like Pokeys outlook on life. Keep doing your stuff mate. Hopefully you'll be coming to the UK soon!!! Keep up the good work all of you!! From a fully converted Brit. :)

This song is nominated for the Grooviness seal of Approval!

Still like Pokey, but I miss the South City Three. Best guitarist, bassist, and harp ever.

“Fine to Me” is fine with me!!! Love the new style. Fun, catchy, and creative. Been a long time fan, I love the old, but also the new.

I expect to hear this in a Tarantino movie someday

Pokey says "it's got to be alright". Thank you for shining bright during these times.

Just heard this on BBC Radio 6. I will carry this song with me forever. It's a gem!

I'm feeling this dude

Well, this is a bit of a change up, isn't it? Doesn't sound exactly like Pokey. And it doesn't sound like anybody else either. OK, maybe just the slightest touch of John Fogerty in there. So it's a win/win. Never a dull moment in PL's world.

World LOVE to see a collab with Pokey and Tim Blake Nelson. I think their voices might make some sweet harmonies🎙🎶

Nice!

Love Pokey and seen him in concert recently with my kids. The guy has great hooks . He's got songs for days that could be used in commercials. The black Keys did it to jump into the limelight. It's not selling out...its letting the world know about ya.
