Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three "Claude Jones" and "Drinkin' Whiskey Tonight"

[twocanplayatthat]

Best band I have heard this year! Fantastic! Thank you Jools Holland for showing me this band!

[whoscameronmcc]

Aw I work here. City Museum!! Coming to see you this Thursday

[mikesakhalin]

Looking forward to seing them in Newcastle at the wonderful Cluny. March 24.

[STANLIZ4]

@mikesakhalin Youre lucky! theyre coming nowhere near the Midlands!

[mikesakhalin]

@STANLIZ4

Oh hard luck! Guess its a bit of a journey north for you. Hell of a venue The Cluny. Saw Old Crow Medecine Show there on their first tour. Took the bloody roof off! LOL.

All the best.

[boloboxing]

Every year or so Jools Holland has a band on his show that you can really see sticking around. Norah Jones, Sigur Ros etc, and I thought this band were so good on new years eve. Bought both albums and it's almost impossible to be miserable when they're on.

[blueflyingwolf]

Once again, thanks to Jools Holland for bringing yet another group of excellent performers to our attention!

[Leemo707]

imense band , desserve a better camera man though :P

[TheOriginalNitroMax]

Saw them last night at Jools Holland and decided to look them up on the net, very nice !!!!

[gilleninja]

[drybonesband]

Charlie Poole's long lost grandson!

[powerkor]

music from the 20s and 30s, without all the scratchy 78 noise

[randyohle]

@lofisessions have you heard Langhorn Slim? check him out too.

[esmee47]

[fucked13up]

[ChaseChafin]

@fucked13up a washboard.....

[ladybyrd0]

i love these guys!

[ezduzit90]

He's very unique an talented, his whole band is great. I find him so interesting to watch and I am so glad I found out about him, I saw his picture on a newspaper I was just about to throw out and I liked the way he looked, he sure has a style all his own, I read he was going to be in my area and I was so mad because that was done and gone, but i'll be waiting for him.

[Congakeystone]

From The Colbert Report to Jack White to Third Man Records to Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three! Best discovery this week.

[dougniles1]

If Pokey is good enough for Jack White (White Stripes) then he's good enough for me....Keep it coming Pokey and the South City Three..Great Talents Joey Glynn: Upright Bass, Vocals Ryan Koenig: Washboard, Harmonica, Vocals Adam Hoskins: Guitar, Vocals

[JuuFgts]

[riserclamp]

wow these guys are awesome!



[johnniejukebox]

....lookin forward to kilkenny visit in july...

[cougarbutt69]

@GuitarGod119 shut up about not being professional.

go play a coldplay cover you hack

[GuitarGod119]

@cougarbutt69 which song should I do? Come on, pick one. I'll have it up in a day. Then I wanna see you perform next.

[GuitarGod119]

Loved the whole video. I really dislike his attitude at the very end. You can tell he's pissed at his band mates for fucking something up. Not very professional to just blatantly point that out on a video that your putting out to the public..

[NKskates]

@GuitarGod119 He doesn't direct it at anyone really. It sounds more like a personal comment on them as a whole. And I don't see why you go on about 'proffesionalism', this seems like a casual performance.

[GuitarGod119]

@NKskates I'm just saying a rule of thumb of performing is to never point out when mistakes are made. Most listeners will not have noticed them in the first place . Maybe he's not directing it at anyone, maybe he is. I get the feeling he is though. Just my impression that's all, having worked with that type before. I love the music don't get me wrong!!

[rabid]

@GuitarGod119 To be fair he may not have known he was still being recorded. I never yelled cut or anything. We just rolled through everything.

[stevebelzer]

One person accidentally clicked "dislike."

[vuniper]

<3 it Dean / Someday...I wanna meet and spoil your travelin' soul (I massage). Your singing calls to me...

[shrubhater]

 I like!

[wailtd]

Pokey looks like a very young Dean Martin. He should add "That's Amore'" to his playlist.

[gethotkeepmovin]

classic st. louis--jazz, blues, country, swing converge to make a sound that's difficult to find anywhere else!

[LESLIEARNETT1]

Awesome in Paducah, along with Bawn in the Mash!

[ozarksfolksong]

I can't believe I haven't seen anyone liken this guy to Jimmie Rodgers. The similarities are striking.

[kehoe123321]

Hey! God love a duck -- this is Spike Jones reincarnated, but somewhat sedated. Love it!!

[Jvalentin3]

the beefed up kazoo is the coolest!

[iamjoedubois]

allot like the squirrel nut zippers

[fartjack]

@iamjoedubois WHAT?! nooooooo I like those guys but this is nothing like that.

[dLibertine81]

i wanna use some words someone would say if they liked this and they were from the time period that this music is largely influenced by but i don't know such words so i will say kick ass

[colombialobon]

cool band!

[IBG67]
