Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@danielcallahan5404]

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

[@terry3855]

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.

[@michaelreilly7635]

Terry Woodford I saw them in Montreal last week, Yes, Wow, They were fantastic, I was thinking all the same things you are about this wonderful group

[@jsphchesspeace]

+Terry Woodford Well put!

[@ToroSAS]

So, you basically worked in one of the most legendary places in music history?! Mr. Woodford, you just made me a very jealous man.

[@terry3855]

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.

[@Luna_and_Miles]

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.

[@robomurf]

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

[@chrismartin1734]

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

[@VictorMawhinney]

Fabulous recording , you can hear every instrument .

[@williamcunningham3580]

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

[@londonpinball]

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

[@macfunkey]

cos this is one of the traditions that rocknroll came from

[@dcore64]

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!

[@blueskymut]

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

[@bettinajoseph3758]

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

[@alfredlerat452]

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

[@1225evan]

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

[@jsphchesspeace]

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!

[@sirkazm]

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

[@darrenvanevery5274]

Sup brown brolies

[@madogblue]

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

[@gwjohnsoniii]

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!

[@pmclane]

Pokey you and your band nailed it despite the studio

[@Subversion_dnb]

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

[@MrLamendez]

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

Chloe is a real good sax and clarinet player. She played with Dale Watson on a TV show . Look up That's What I Like About The South by Dale Watson.

[@michaelpasold5083]

Russell Sova Your right, what a great sound. Dale Watson plays the best south Texas swing there is. Dale knows talent when it hears it. Chloe is great.

[@jsphchesspeace]

I’m a fan.

[@marksandro1349]

Pokey come to florida

[@victor441bsa5]

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

[@TimMacPA]

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.

[@soozikins]

Magic stuff, great musicianship, time for a hot/trad jazz revival :)

[@parishasantune]

So good! If im not mistaken, the singer is an actor as well

[@zomart4016]

gee poke you give me a reason to live

[@mikeramey1797]

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!!!

[@bcstargazer]

*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!

[@JRayShovelpig]

Hell Yeah!

[@VonBlade]

It's a shame the horn and licorice stick players are gone from the band, really helped the sound.

[@gregmontgomery9726]

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

[@beanboyo]

Shoutout to Tim on trumpet

[@ShMo1990]

the last tune is a banger! properly uplifting! where can I buy it!?

[@foxearth1]

Close the Door 😎

[@Kylerjguitar]

Sounds a little Django Reinhardt at times

[@Luna_and_Miles]

Yep! I hear shades of Django too.

[@MrUSSAM]

I hear Buddy Holley in a VERY good way !

[@meowcula]
