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.

[@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

[@VictorMawhinney]

Fabulous recording , you can hear every instrument .

[@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.

[@chrismartin1734]

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

[@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

[@alfredlerat452]

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

[@1225evan]

BONAROO JUNE 11TH -14TH

[@jeremyrose1331]

Do it !!! Lucky to see them twice in Aus. Best concerts ever !!

[@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

[@blueskymut]

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

[@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!

[@williamcunningham3580]

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

[@Dr.JeremyDunks]

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

[@pmclane]

Pokey you and your band nailed it despite the studio

[@samfrito]

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

[@waltervanvooren994]

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

[@TroySpro]

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

[@Subversion_dnb]

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

[@tslaks]

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

[@jimtyrrell1]

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

[@holleymesler2832]

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

[@96driver]

Feb 2 2021 Right now!!! Love this guy

[@aaronduman6087]

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!!!

[@bettinajoseph3758]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@lacanien]

music at its best

[@justinbolen324]

Have seen pokey 4 times. Amazing! Each time.

[@noone96789]

Love this band!

[@crystalstclair9600]

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

[@ericthompson3383]

What a great band!!! Nailed it!

[@MrLamendez]

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

[@OsofoGriot]

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

[@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!

[@coltonbranstetter9853]

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

[@stevehurst3905]

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

[@cheriesaxton5309]

[@96driver]

FOP is out of the question

[@markprice1121]

I like it.

[@Spritsailor]

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]

+Russell Sova Good call! Nice find

[@parishasantune]

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

[@carlosaugustodecupero3105]

Excelentt! Very good! Lovely!

[@betsy1947]

LOVE this!!

[@antoinettef.m.7038]

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

[@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.

[@danielehernandez944]

Great.. I'm Mexico City Excellent music

[@cheriesaxton5309]

I’m a fan.

[@wipperwils2111]

Toronto needs a tour stop folks!

[@melanie1714]

takes 0.1 seconds to see the talent here. loooooove

[@CharlesRenders]

killin it everytime

[@tycho_m]

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

[@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.

[@Slinkygal]

Great fun

[@zomart4016]

gee poke you give me a reason to live

[@victor441bsa5]

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

[@soozikins]

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

[@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!!!

[@marcuswells4748]

Pokey for president

[@marksandro1349]

Pokey come to florida

[@ShMo1990]

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

[@scottmikle2558]

You da man Pokey! Smooth as shit..........
