Pokey LaFarge! Difficult new name? It's even Pokey Lafarge and The South City Three in full! From St.Louis, Missouri, USA and you can hear it. Or, in other words: Pokey & Co play a very smooth and heart-warming mix of 'all things heartland roots americana': ragtime, jugband, folk, blues, country, western swing... 'Drawing musical inspiration from the heroes and misfits of yesterday, the long lost troubadours of country, the kings of the swamp-drenched ragtime and all the legendary bluesmen of the Cotton Kingdom.' Or more specifically: Blind Boy Fuller, Bob Wills, Jimmie Rodgers...
Now already four CDs further, the latest being that fine title 'Middle Of Everywhere' (here via Munich Records). In between there was also the vinyl release 'Chitlin Cookin' Time In Cheatham County' (on Jack White's Third Man Records!)
Of course, as ultimate business card, there was also that mighty visit to Jools Holland's Hootenanny New Year's Eve Special! Hey Pokey A-Way!
