Road warrior Pokey Lafarge has been traveling the US back and forth this year with his band, the South City Three, bringing his own blend of jukebox jugband mania. Here’s a Merry Christmas video from Pokey and his label, Free Dirt Records!
Hearth Music ran promotion on Pokey’s 2010 CD from Free Dirt Records: Riverboat Soul. If you haven’t heard it yet, we urge you to have a listen on our Listening Lounge: http://www.hearthmusic.com/listening_lounge.html It’s a red-blooded romp through the swampy backwaters of American roots music, anchored by Pokey’s warbly voice and his hot band. Definitely one of our favorite releases of 2010.
Here’s a great video of Pokey’s hit single, “La La Blues”
