The amount of talent in that room is immeasurable. That many people playing at once and not over the tops of others except when it's their time up front. Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see this guy live.

[@graememorrice5379]

The amount of talent in that room is, I believe, the maximum amount of talent allowed in any one room at once. Any more talent would render all other rooms of assembled talent as utterly meaningless.

@@graememorrice5379 Amen brother.

[@TheEzzieboy]

@@graememorrice5379 Yeah, you know when you stuff Chloe clear in the back for much of the number, YOU GOT TALENT!

[@fransbuijs808]

​@@graememorrice5379 I don't care what mama don't allow, I'm gonna get some more talent in this room anyhow!

[@deadskunk8733]

I had to listen to this twice.....wait a minute I better listen to this a couple of more times. Hehehehe. This has me hopping around the living room naked with the dogs barking at me. Hehehehe

[@christophertottle6022]

The more times I watch & listen to this, the better it gets, It's like a very fine Red wine. Thanks from me in South Wales UK.

[@bojo4558]

Just watched mama don't allow again!! Now in South Wales lol. You have good taste😄

[@sasktrucker487]

Absolutely wonderful from everyone. Chloe on fire on the clarinet....and what a superstar she has become!😉

[@paulgrimm6850]

[@kirkbarrett7566]

[@byronwolters2363]

Holy Jeez! I think I've just turned my self inside out with happiness listening to this incredible blast of music! I damn near disjointed my ankles tapping away to this! Lawd a' Mighty! Zounds abound bro'!

[@adamc2451]

My grand father loved this song. I have a love recording of this song and he’s in the crowd losing his mind and hyping the players up and they’re having a blast, today would’ve been his 88th birthday and I play this song every year. Thank you for this, that Trombone player was amazing and it was my grandpas favorite instrument. Cheers everyone

[@maxheadroom7687]

[@levak8740]

My legs moving I want to dance so bad ,thank you so much ,absolutely fantastic!

[@pfroge]

I want a movie to be made about this whole thing.....from his start in Illinois listening to blues music in the diner to the time he meets up with the South City Three....how he fell in love with St. Louis ....and the world wide touring. I want to show clips of the history of American music to include all genres. The movie should be at least eight hours long with about ten sequels.

Purely amazing

[@watersdreamfearless]

This is outstanding 👏 👌 🙌

[@geosutube]

Listen to all of Pokey LaFarge. This guy and his band are the best to come along the pike in years. Something for everybody. Call it "Roots Music," call it old-time pop, it's great. I second the call for the movie. Thanks, Sharon Walker.

[@obardin]

Love love and yes again love this . Great music and and fab jamming . 😁😁😁😁

[@gregdiffenthal2384]

Love it !

[@curtmanners1182]

I believe that this is a clip from a PBS pledge drive special documentary with Jack White covering the early history of recorded music starting with a lead weight on a string that went to the floor in about 3 minutes, thus, songs on records had to be that short or shorter. Seems like it was a multi-part doc and Pokey and this crowd burnt down the house, along with a bunch of other stars. The producers went to much trouble and expense to renovate the only equipment extant in order to duplicate the original procedures. I regret ever erasing that doc but it was about 6 hours of bandwidth and I figured I could find it again if I wanted to.

[@jonaslang8578]

Do you mean "American Epic"? I think he recorded two songs for the album, but I haven't watched the film yet because it's difficult to get outside the US. May have to try importing it now if you say he's in it :D

[@pdk9capt104]

You guys are awesome! Love me some Dixieland/big band/swing genre. Keep sending them out.

[@dontaylor7315]

Pretty smooth blend of country, Cajun and New Orleans with just a touch of Delta blues...all overlaid with just plain fun. Haven't heard anything from Pokey yet that I didn't like.

[@giop1595]

FANTASTIC!!

[@jaywolf7917]
