La La Blues - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO for Pokey LaFarge

[Spudst3r]

Centuries of blues music schooled by these guys!

[UKToneKing]

I love this kind of music, when I first started playing guitar I realized I like lot's of things I never thought I would, you learn to appreciate music much more playing an instrument too, I just love the sound of an old double bass mixed with acoustic and harmonica, perfection

[LazyTaterLikesApples]

This video should have 20 million hits! YOU ARE AMAZING POKEY LAFARGE AND THE SOUTH CITY THREE! :D 

[MuffinsAreCarrots]

marry me Pokey?

[kopper]

Pokey does St. Louis proud!

[domainphotography]

You know a band is genuine and amazing if they have a distinct lack of VEVO presence on youtube :)

[bartgoesaround]

Yeah.

[scrumpymondo]

fuck Jools, twas Mr. Samari who brought me here!

[TheJohnnybegood1]

Yeah their tour is a sell out....they changed venues 3 times to accommodate ! see ya in Manchester guys ! YEEE HAAA !!...love ya...and the harmonica is the Best Ive heard !..

[Jubdas]

They remind me of slipknot a bit.

[jimboyguythingymebob]

@Jubdas i dont know what you were smoking while listening to this but that aint no good comparement...

[listentothis1]

He will be in Memphis at the Hi Tone..in February 2012 ...I feel a road trip a coming on...Little Arkansas

[listentothis1]

Hi Tone Cafe bought me here!

[ianurielgirdley]

you guys rock

[HeyvBuddy]

Anyone know any similar groups or singers like this genre?

[rhombus0ne]

@HeyvBuddy Check out Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns; different, but also great! And search for "carsie blanton baby can dance" and watch the first one...

[rhombus0ne]

@HeyvBuddy Oh! And it's also very different, but you might like Movits! A great band. And then, could check out the soundtrack to "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"! In general, look into the original blues, bluegrass, and country swing greats...

[jimboyguythingymebob]

@HeyvBuddy

Van Zant and... whell thats all i know. if you wanna hear that, type in Van Zant if it goes down easy. great song!

[Jebusjoose]

Just saw these guys and this song live. It was great.

[ShadowFox37]

@Jebusjoose Same, I really enjoyed that performance.

[Jebusjoose]

@ShadowFox37

Dude are you at STLCOP too?

[ShadowFox37]

@Jebusjoose Haha, yup. =P

[Jebusjoose]

@ShadowFox37

This planet is too small.

[megkjed]

what would you do without hootenanny, he picks all the good music.

Thumbs up if its a tradition to watch jools holland hootenanny every year

.

[maggymarguerite]

I love this....Jools Holland's Hootenanny show bought me to you xxx

[MegaPurplewaffle]

Just Think how great Todays music industry today would be if the media giants would accept new music like this!

[beaujangles02]

Jools brought me here to ....this is just so old school I love it !

[ScimitarGuitar]

excellent, saw them over a year ago at the kirkcaldy acoustic music club

[sossysos1]

me too!

[flighty1996]

Wow these guys are fantastic. Heard them on the Jools Holland show too.

Can't wait for their tour in March, gnna try get some tickets.

[martyfan11]

When Jools comes to Aberdeen later this year, I wanna be there, and I wanna meet him afterwards, and I wanna say "thankyou for introducing me to new talent". Thinking of that, I'm going to ask mum if we can catch these guys when they come to Aberdeen (she also liked them, so I don't think she'll mind it)

[djpj22]

HIS FACE AT 0:03!! Brilliant!

[mcmulland]

Watched these guys on Jools Holland and all I could think of was "Oh brother where art thou" Think I'll catch them in March in Dublin.

[Y99011]

Pokey LeFarge and Imelda May really stole that show

[adaa67]

So good, so different & yes the Jools Holland New Year show

[Trishtubed]

going to see them in Dublin in March :) yay!

[jamiemcf1]

who else thinks the lead singer looks like he's from the 50s?

[jazzfoook]

Can anybody tell me what key harp he's playing on this?

[milesclan6]

Jools Holland too

[duncs1459]

@milesclan6 - and me! Thanks Jools for bringing this band to my attention. Real music! No synths, no effects pedals or studio effects, no autotune - Fantastic!

[HairyCamera]

[CorporalGoogoo]

[09wholove]

Brilliant on Jools! Glad to have some new music :)

[supermabel1]

Well yeah! Jools sent me here too. Love it!

[ArmyLad1995]

The Jools Holland show brought me here. thumbs up if it brought you here too!!

[Rottenbottomrob]

@ArmyLad1995 Yeah man, Jools` show brings me `new` stuff every year ! Watched these last night and straight away downloaded both albums and booked tickets to one of their gigs in March - all before an hour into the New Year bud lol !

[georgiebyrom]

@Rottenbottomrob where's the gig in March?

[Rottenbottomrob]

@georgiebyrom The one I booked for was at The Cooler in Bristol 27th March but I think they are playing Manchester and Edinburgh amongst other places. 250 capacity at The Cooler and can`t wait.

[georgiebyrom]

@Rottenbottomrob Thanx

[ArmyLad1995]

@Rottenbottomrob hahaha so true !! they were brilliant !!! the Vaccines on the other hand werent exactly amazing xD or sandie shaw or whatever her name is wasnt too good either xD but everyone else were brilliant !!

[gertadriaenssen1]

@ArmyLad1995 it did. Love'em.

[liedjesvertaler]

@ArmyLad1995 what a great song to start 2012 with!! I'm so happy, I'm singing la la la

[pieandmashlover]

@ArmyLad1995

Me too. A shame they didn't get to play a couple more. Ryan Koenig (if I'm not mistaken) plays an amazing harmonica. Wish I had lungs like that!

[ArmyLad1995]

@pieandmashlover couldnt aggree anymore with you. absoloutely amazing on the harmonica. his facial expressions made me laugh hahaha but he was amazing on that instrument. i think thats his name, not too sure to be honest.

[clearviewmind]

Hootenanny!! Happy New Year everyone!!! :-)

[MrMedderzEa]

@clearviewmind there were bloody goon on hooternanny i was watching them the man on the harmonica deserves an award for that playin that was un real, and happy new year :)

[clearviewmind]

@MrMedderzEa Too right, mate. Never hear of em before tonight. That's the great thing with that Jooles prog. Top notch.

[MrMedderzEa]

@clearviewmind your the same as me never heard of them but im glad i know them now absolutley spot on, i always watch jools every year he sometimes pulls a suprise out like he did tonight with Pokey LaFarge.

[Warrenpeace21]

Great songs from an awesome band!

[dynamicsjon]

Class :-)

[DanniiYoung656]

Aside from Pokey, who are the other band members?

[tantorecords]

Jools Holland sent me here!!!! HOOOOTANANNNYYYY!!!

[celestialclover9]

[cshartley101]

Just watched this lot on jools Holland. Amazing.

[CorporalGoogoo]

[TheHollygon]

[supermassivedwarf]

Sounds like Pistol Slapper Blues. Like it :)

[LesRichardForgue]

[karrieamettis]

[666thehazard]

NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts brought me here :).

[CocksuckersBall]

I would love to see this guys covering "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" :P

[whaun]

What's with the guy installing a TV antenna in the background?

[RADARrevolt]

I'm in love with this

[renegaderadiofm]

this is what country music should sound like, not that crap they play on CMT

[Skweepa]

He gives me the banana.

[boomtownhoops]

this is so great. love it!!!! makes me feel all bubbly inside.

[janeydear]

Saw them last night with The Racontuers ,,,great stuff!

[uofmrebel]

If they made a sequel to Oh, Brother... these guys would be in it.

[R3zc4]

Dude, I'm so happy to see you 3hours ago @De Oosterpoort Groningen [TAKEROOT] <3 you were awesome !!!!!!!!

[sc583501]

old crow medicine show

[mindpatrolrecords]

Great music though!!

[AllKindsaGirls]

[bruguinnea]

@onelovedivine hahahahah does look that hyde, good call

[Leemo707]

@onelovedivine wait is it actually ? , if not then dayem creepy

[JustVondellable1]

<3

[JustVondellable1]

My new obsession.! got to see them at MOBOT! one night to remember!

[cstakolich]

The way all these guys look ... its literally like they were made to play this type of music

[BroadwayDreamchild]

Ryan went crazy on the harmonica that day. Both him and Pokey got hyper on coffee that day, and eventually had a slappy fight in the middle of a song on stage. It was hilarious! Ryan almost pushed pokey off the stage! :D

[BroadwayDreamchild]

He's such a sweet guy to be around. I was really scared the day before yesterday when I met him to get a picture, and he just held out a hand and said "come right between us, darlin' ". Ryan (the harmonica player) just put his arm on my shoulder, and Pokey put his arm around my waist,and we got a great picture. Ryan seemed happy to see me, since he had been making silly faces at me for two hours the previous day. Over all, their my heroes in music.

[nashsuper1]

see them live at the ladyluck club in london sept 2

all details LADYLUCKCLUB.CO.UK

[oldhippypeace]

Great music....love the harmonica. Timeless

[LlamaLordess]

I think I'm in love. They all look like gentlemen that are nice and just want to hang out. sigh..

[Nyquistic]

Skip James

[auntsally571]

this is bloody brilliant! :)

[theglobaltiger]

Coming to my local on Sunday... woo

[wexarts]

Cant wait to see them Wexford Arts Centre next Thurs 7th July

[Bowser1948]

Saw them live in Inverness (Scotland) ..awesome . If they survive a trip to Skye and the Western isles (I think they like whisky so they may not get back!) check them out if they come to your town

[try2bcool]

I have the same guitar that sideburns guy is playing...his looks a lot better though...

[TheIvoryrocker]

its hyde from that 70s show 2nd to the right

[MrJsodd]

Awesome shit

[okcrayola]

Send me an angel down...

[singingwendy]

pokey kicks ass!!!!!

[poxod]

Why the 'Brooklyn rooftop' video? Doesn't St Louis have rooftops?

[fraqtus]

I love this song! I'm down with "bwmacp2006" - that harp's been violated...

[bwmacp2006]

That harmonica just lost it's virginity...

[muddyforkband]

Yeah!!!!Love it guys!!!

[fasteddie4145]

I bet the two "dislikes" hate sex with humans and kittens too.....

[rossmat707]

@fasteddie4145 you like sex with kittens?

[fasteddie4145]

@rossmat707 Yeah, right after I get done with your mom....

[rossmat707]

@fasteddie4145

I have two dads

[riserclamp]

sweet!

[foxem5]

Its awesome

[UruguayanLion]

This isnt country... its folk. There IS a very large difference

[ifinallygotaim77]

@UruguayanLion It's really not folk either. It'd be best classified as ragtime blues. So you're both wrong.

[UruguayanLion]

@ifinallygotaim77 Were all very impressed with your specificity 

[Trakester3]

@ifinallygotaim77 Ragtime sounds about right. Who are these guys? I've been way to stuck in contemporary media. This is just refreshing.

[Trakester3]

@ifinallygotaim77 Ragtime sounds about right. Who are these guys? I've been way too stuck in contemporary media. This is just refreshing.

[HeroicOaf]

@UruguayanLion I would agree - it falls under the umbrella of Folk/Roots/Americana. . .or as John Fahey would classify it, Primitive American.

[eminemisinthemafia]

these guys are great, proves that country music can be really good

[artjbjr]

Sounds great. But all I hear in my head is "Loo Loo Loo" (ala Butters from Southpark) rather than la la la.

[joewattguitarist]

I met pokey at the shetland folk festival. And the three. They are amazing. Great band and great group of very eccentric individuals.

[HermannPalmer]

This is my favorite blues video!

The three are just wonderful :-)

[v8nightmarekk]

is that chicago in the backround?

[iheartdanebamf]

@v8nightmarekk

The "south city" three refers to south St. Louis. My best guess is that they're in St. Louis City. Not exactly sure where though..which is bad since i'm from the same area...lol.

[v8nightmarekk]

@iheartdanebamf yeah i know there from st louis but it totally looks like chicago but ive never been to st louis is im guessing.

[Gogluificationable]

Vinyle voice.



[Gogluificationable]

Vinyle voice.

[bwmacp2006]

That harmonica player, uses the pentatonic scale better than I do....and I play guitar.

[XCallXMeXmatt]

That harmonica player is SO good.

[magmaswank]

Love you guys, seriously. I'm so sad I missed your Richmond show. I bet it was as awesome as it was before.

[BlaireReinhardBand]

man this is good

[rise54321]

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with that 1 person? lol Love the band!

[bpayne37]

He is destroying that harmonica.

[ericr0o]

this is the on of my favorite bands i could listen to their music all day.

[jc1daddy2]

Not bad

[enorlan13]

could someone give me the tabs for the harmonica?

[Hoskins1375]

1 person wasn't singing la la la

[HugoFutureJackass]

awesome face man



[LESLIEARNETT1]

Was great playing with Bawn in the Mash in Paducah!

[derrenzius]

My Greek teacher showed me this song during classical culture. And I just love it, it also would be great in a cappella.

[JellyZiggy]

ran into these few at a small grocery in manitu.....i was staing at there amazing sticker filled van on the lot and stopped to chat. Put on a real good show at the frontrange BBQ hope to see them there again this summer

[dominosoul]

Hey, I met that guy. He's friends with my cousin.

[SW891]

yo. love pokey. just wondering what guitar he is using if anyone can help me out. also do bluegrass artists use differents guitars to get their sound.

[iheartdanebamf]

@SW891

Pokey is incredibly awesome and sooo nice to all his fans. I go to his shows all the time. More times then not, he walks around and talks to anyone and everyone. He's honestly one of the most approachable people you will ever meet in your life and would be happy to answer any question you have.

[Ehar]

@SW891 Can't tell you what make it is but it's a parlor style, common in a lot of old blues. Something tells me the one Pokey uses is probably vintage. Most bluegrass guitar players use a dreadnought, probably the most common body type for acoustic guitars.

[meland8up]

drew, love this one man! the new cd is ahsum!!!

[fhfgjg]

man this is badass

[floatingrose14]

This is so amazing, has anyone got the lyrics?

I would be soooo thankful if someone would send them to me!!

[urion43]

Pokey looks like a skinny Geroge St. Pierre.

[ukedaman]

I love it! Happy blues!

[hegarty09]

WE WANT GWAR!

[foleyxl18]

@hegarty09 hahahahahaha!!!
